The Presidency has dismissed the insinuations that the Federal Government had banned the use of Hijab, the Muslim women’s dressing symbol of modesty. This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Malam Garba Shehu. Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on the issue during last Wednesday’s Presidential Media Chat, Shehu said that the speculations were unfounded. He said that the Buhari-led Federal Government would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom. Shehu said that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violated the teachings of Islam. He, however, said that Buhari would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders. He said that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution. “Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,’’ he said.

But hijab is part of dressing for women in Islam, so the terrorist use it as bait to destroy. Do u tink banning hijab will curb terrorism. The bandits will look for another means as bait. What of wearing of army uniform.
