There was tension in some public schools in different parts of Osun State including Osogbo, the state capital, yesterday, after some female Muslim students insisted on wearing their Hijab during school hours in a Christian school. Conflicting reports trailed the action of the Principal of Christ African Middle School, Osogbo, simply introduced as Mrs Micha, who reportedly sent the female Muslim students out of the school. While one account said the female students were sent out of the school, another account said it was not true. Daily Sun gathered that when a Muslim female teacher pleaded with the principal to allow them stay with their hijab on, the principal refused. Mrs Micha, however, told Daily Sun that she only ordered the female Muslim students to remove their hijab and denied sending them away from the school as speculated. She, however, insisted that Hijab would not be allowed in Christian schools. It was also learnt that when some members of Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN) heard about the development, they mobilised with an intent to storm the school to stage a protest, but, the state’s Muslim community promptly persuaded them against it. Last Friday, an Osun State High Court judge, Justice Jide Falola, delivered a judgement in favour of a case instituted by the Muslim community against the state government on the right of female Muslim students in public schools in the state to use hijab to school. The state chapter of Christian Association Nigeria (CAN) faulted the judgement and vowed to appeal the case. CAN also threatened to direct Christian students across the state to adorn Christian garments to schools to propagate their faith if the state government went ahead to implement the judgement. Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB), Prince Felix Awofisayo, told newsmen that the state government would abide by the judgement of the court and noted that all public schools belonged to the state government and that the judgement would apply on all of them. Regardless, Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, said Nigerians should hold Governor Rauf Aregbesola responsible if damage is done to the state’s education system through the brewing crises over wearing of hijab in public schools by female students. Also, Abiola Adewemimo of the state’s Ministry of Justice, said in a statement issued to newsmen, yesterday, that CAN has the right to appeal the judgement and that the state government should not be dragged into the matter. www.thesun.com

But why can't they wear their hijab? Christian girls can also decide to tie headscarves . No one would stop them I am sure. Deeper life girls wear skirts instead of the kaki trousers during NYSC no one has cried that it divides the nation.

We keep bringing religious extremist to govern.

Honestly why is muslims causing problems wherever they are.

The islamazation of southwest remaining 20% Christians will start from osun state

He should learn from his extremists what was/is their facts . This time not only ear disease it will include blindness of he continue his evil mission.

Have Christians not Christianized a lot of Muslims before just to be admitted into Schools. Besises, what is Islamization in giving Muslims their right? Are Christians forced to use HIJAB?

Of all the problems beguiling Nigeria & the world at large,all that Islam have to offer is hijab-which have recently became another source of decoy for Islamic terrorism. Countries including the Islamic ones have banned the public use of this iteam.However since the Nigerian Muslim faithfuls have no meaningful contribution(recall Sen.Ndume advocated marrying at least 2wives,Sen.
Yerima advocated early child-bride marriage as a panacea to lack of societal moral chastity, Spreading of sharia law across all nooks and crannies of this nation & the recent wanton maiming of lives & barbaric killings by Islamic fanatics nationwide) to make for our national progress,they often held unto issues like this to assert superiority.Recall Nigeria is a secular state going by our Constitution.So why is Islam such a thorn in our flesh?

Also, Abiola Adewemimo of the state’s Ministry of Justice, said in a statement issued to newsmen, yesterday, that CAN has the right to appeal the judgement and that the state government should not be dragged into the matter.

CAN must really have severe dislike for the hijab it must really cause then sleepless night. They should stop sue rather than make silly noise like they did in the Kaduna preaching regulations law.

but the only person threatening here is CAN why can't you people leave Muslim girls alone did they steal your brownies?

Aregbesola is an extremist, it will take an extremist to defeat him. CAN should come out with their own mode of dressing.

Court has delivered the judgement that female Muslims can wear HIJAB to schools, Not Aregbesola. Even Justice Jide falola who delivered the judgement was not A Muslim.

The Judge is a Muslim

The indebtedness level of Osun is partially reflective of mismanagement of school systems islamizatiom. Why run Christian sch when you can't pay workers of the remaining schools?

We yorubas are not united, we are just pretending to be united because of ibos.

What is wrong if we yoruba muslims Islamize the whole of yorubaland so that we can be united like the hausa fulani in the north?

Sharia is good for Osun state, enough of immorality.

Why are muslims going to a christian( well spelt out) school and expect to change the rules. If you want to wear hijab go to an islamic school and disturbing the peace of the world.
