However, the protest which started as a peaceful one, took a violent turn when an unidentified man rushed to the school to inform other protesters of a machete cut.

Some Muslim parents on Thursday stormed Oyun Baptist High School, Ijagbo, in the Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State to protest against the rejection of their wards in the school. 
 
However, the protest which started as a peaceful one, took a violent turn when an unidentified man rushed to the school to inform other protesters of a machete cut.

This triggered an angry reaction from the protesting Muslim parents as they looked around for various weapons to defend themselves. However, police officers swiftly dispatched them.

NAN reports that the police fired warning shots into the air and also used teargas to dispatch the protesters in order to control the situation as unidentified persons from inside the Oyun Baptist High School, were seen throwing missiles at those outside the premises.

Meanwhile, several persons have sustained varying degrees of injury.

For instance, a man in his early 20s was seen being rushed to a nearby hospital for reportedly being shot at.
 
Normalcy was however restored by a combined team of police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The Public Relations Officer of the Kwara Police Command, Ajayi Okasanmi, said security personnel had been deployed to the scene to restore peace.
 
Okasanmi said normalcy has returned to the school and that security operatives would remain there until the area was safe for the residents.
 
The controversies surrounding the use of Hijab in schools have rocked Kwara State, particularly in schools which have identified as missionary schools. 

On January 25, the government restated its policy and directed management of schools in the state to allow the use of Hijab by willing Muslims without forcing it on anyone or turning them back for using it.

Some Muslim parents and their wards were seen on some major streets of Ilorin on Wednesday protesting against the management of Oyun Baptist High School for turning back some students for wearing Hijab.
 
A government delegation, led by the Commissioner for Education, Hajia Sa’adatu Kawu, had twice visited the school to resolve the matter.

Another delegation led by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mohammed Saifudeen, also visited the town for the same reason on Thursdays

if that xtian religion was indeed a religion of peace, then they would allow ANYONE (regardless of the way they dress), to attend!

Luke 6:37
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Not true.
Firstly Christian and moslems have their ways of fellowship and dress code. So both should respect each other ways. The School is a missionary
While the Muslims have their Islamic Schools and they have their mode of dressing.
Why enforce your ways on others when u are within their domain? When u are in Rome behave like the Romans.
About your don't judge or condemn is an abused scriptural verse people uses to deceive or manipulate people.
The Bible talked about judges in the Bible, and also taked about Kings and Prophet who execute judgment and justice, So why won't we address issues when it's going wrong if possible judge it declare the rightful right and the wrong wrong.
Be guided.

Later Christians start crying that Muslims are this and that..
Why do we have to segregate and place unnecessary rules on young kids all cos of an imaginary creature..

Religion is like an expression of the human tribal instinct...Religions always grow based on separation of minds..We versus them..Different religions express this separation with varying levels of subtlety and crassness combined with violence..
Religion is nothing but a disaster to human..

luvinhubby:


All institutions known to mankind have rules and guidelines governing them, if you are not comfortable with it, freedom of choice allows you to choose from others, why violence?

hopeforcharles:
Why must Islam be always associated with violence?
Can't things be resolved in a peaceful way?
A baptist Church is a Christian Church and should follow chirstain values.

[[s]quote author=AntiBMC post=109927043]Christians do not attend their Muslim schools. In fact, these same people brutally killed a teacher for touching a student's bag that ”allegedly” contained a Qur'an.

Why ffs are Muslims attending Christian schools? And then, they want to brazenly flout these schools' principles and do their own religious things in the schools’ premises.

If that's not poking their fingers into the eyes of Christians, then I don't know what else to call it.

Religion of piss [/s]

The school is government owned and common entrance is the one that pick school for student... Know that in your skull.

Nobody has the right to deny the right of anybody from wearing hijab.

Why enroll your ward in a Christian school?

[s][quote author=DMerciful post=109928640]As a mosley, why send your kids to a Baptist school ? So if they're teaching Christian values, do you expect your kids to participate?

You know troublemakers when you see them[/s]

government own the school and common entrance is what pick school for student so, stop saying nonsense.

Kabongo1:
It's a Christian school, which is built on the foundation of Biblical tenets. Wearing hijab isn't part of what they believe in, so it's not allowed.

The parents can take their wards to any Islamic school and stop disturbing others. They can't go to a Christian school and want to impose their Islamic beliefs. They should respect and abide by the rules of the school if they want their wards to be educated there.

The next thing, they will be asking that Christian religious knowledge be taken off the curriculum.
