A coalition of Muslim organizations, on Wednesday, held a protest rally at the
National Assembly Complex, Abuja, over the decision of House of Representatives Committee on Justice and Judiciary to cancel a public hearing on the hijab controversy between the Nigerian Law School and Miss Amasa Firdus (a Nigerian Law School graduate) slated to hold.
The cancellation of the public hearing was informed by a court injunction
directing the committee to stay action. Miss Firdus came to limelight last
year, following the decision of the Body of Benchers to shut her out of the
call-to-Bar ceremony of the Law School over her refusal to remove her
hijab, the Muslim women headgear.

The public hearing, which was scheduled to hold on Wednesday at Room 236
of the House of Representatives Wing, could not proceed, following an
announcement by the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Rasak Atunwa, that the Committee had received an interlocutory injunction from a High Court
restraining it from proceeding with the hearing.
An incensed Professor Ishaq Akintola, scholar and Director of the Muslims
Rights Concern (MURIC) insisted that the committee must continue. He
claimed that those who obtained the injunction will truncate the hearing if the
committee fixes another date.

"We reject this and we are saying that the injunction is a travesty of justice.
We have come here in peace. These people do not want freedom of
expression and they don't want freedom of speech," said Professor Akintola.
He alleged that the injunction secured was dodgy, branding it a “Kangaroo
injunction, and frowned at the decision of the Committee to obey it.

"If the constitution and government fail to protect us, then we will liberate
ourselves using every constitutional mechanism that will not cause violence
and crisis. Amasa Firdus has challenged the status quo and she is the heroine
of today,” he said.
He said the hearing was prevented from holding by those who do not want
justice to be upheld and asked the Committee to study the 87 memoranda it
has received and take a decision based on the submission of the stakeholders.
