The story on the approval of use of Hijab for call to Bar by the Body of Benchers has been debunked, stating that the correct position is that a decision was taken to allow Firdaus Amasa to be called to the Bar wearing a small covering over her hair, The Honourable Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa style. (See attached Picture)

The body of benchers is yet to formally decide on the mode of dress code for call to Bar as this has generated much controversy in the legal community.
According to the Information gathered by The Nigeria Lawyer (TNL) “the Body of Benchers is yet to consider the report of the committee chaired by Belgore JSC as the said report is not yet ready or ripe for consideration.

Former NBA President Olanipekun SAN, Ofodile SAN, and Lady Debbie are members of the committee.

It is also stated that the report will be formally presented and adopted for discussion by the Body of Benchers on a future date and a standard position taken thereafter as to dress codes for call in view of this development.

“However in view of the imminent Call to Bar ceremonies in July 2018 and Miss Fidaus Amasa’s petition, a position was taken on the applicant’s current petition on the subject. It was decided that :

– the applicant was indeed rude and impolite to a former CJN Belgore JSC who had intervened at the Call ceremonies but rebuffed by the applicant, and therefore must tender a written apology.
– It was recognized that moslem Judges while sitting wear only head scarf to cover their hair and not partial face covering of any sort, as exhibited by the applicant’s attire. If she will be called therefore, she cannot use more than the hair covering scarf, similar to what female Judges from lower courts to Supreme Court use.

So the reprieve is conditional on the above limitations, not a blanket approval as falsely being circulated,” so it was affirmed.

Recall that there was a press statement issued by MURIC on Thursday, that the Body of Benchers has approved the use of hijab during Call to Bar ceremony of young lawyers and that Firdaus Amasa has also been invited to attend the Call to Bar coming up this July 2018 after the approval from the distinguished bench men.

This hijab of a thing should be banned entirely. Bet I know that's impossie because the cabals are winning in their quest to islamatize zoogeria. Most especially those that will still wear black mask with it. Some of them will come for biometrics, how do you espect people to know who they're dealing with?

How do you even comfortably live a life where know one knows who you are nor your identity nor what you look like.

I know 90% of the people that will Insult me are Muslims.

If this extremist don't do as dey please dey will never rest.

That one concern una there jare..

I'm not a Muslim but if a woman wants to cover her head for some type of reason, let her!
#LiveAndLetLive
There's freedom of religion
And my religious beliefs are not better than anybodys!

Hair cover or not, all I know is our ladies modesty are covered. Hijab is actually hair cover

So why are they putting it on in the law school ?

Let's wait and see

And the headslammers have been masturbating themselves to stupor over this same issue Islamic fanatism in Nigeria have been a threat to peaceful national existence

nobody cares.

No country in the world beats Nigeria when it comes to fake news. Fake news fly across every Nigerian blog

I can't understand what kind of confusion this is.

A news will make Frontpage only for it to be debunked...

Nigerians to get free visa to Ecuador...later... Ecuador denies giving free visa to Nigeria

Hijab approved by Nigerian Law School...later...Hijab was not approved.

Tonto Dike goes to toilet...later...Tonto dike did not go to toilet...she only farted!

Ayam not understanding!

This is so wrong and improper

Wahala dey

FEEL FREE TO USE THE LAGOON IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT: NO OFFENCE INTENDED, PLEASE!

I like Mynd44...

We're getting there. Hair cover or Hijab, all that matters is for her to dress modestly as Islam has ordered.

Read about Hijab first then come back to comment as you definitely don't know what Hijab means/is.

A lot of people just come online to display their ignorance cum stupidity. Google has really made learning easy these days and it takes very little time to search for whatever you need to learn about even if not comprehensive. Google is indeed our friend in this regard.

I seriously don't understand why this must be an issue we should be dwelling on as a nation. If a person for whatever religious reason insists they must cover their hair, why can't there be flexibility in the legal system? .. Laws are made for men and not men for laws.
