Adamawa state government set to ban hijab


The Adamawa state government is set to consider a temporary
review of the use of hijab in security prone areas of the state
following the recent spate of suicide bombers.


Speaking on Saturday, December 10, Ahmad Sajoh, the state
commissioner for information and strategy revealed this.


Following the twin bomb blasts on Friday, December 9, in
Madagali market that led to many dead and injuries.

Sajoh
addressed journalists on the outcome of an emergency security
meeting.


The commissioner said the state governor, Muhammadu Bindow
would meet with members of Adamawa Muslim Council and
other stakeholders to discuss the possibility of banning hijab use
as a temporary measure.


This was because those that carried out the Madagali suicide attack
were in hijab.


He said the meeting also underscored the need for people to be
more vigilant during this festive period and in places like markets,
motor parks, churches and mosques.


“We also resolved in the meeting, based on security
recommendations, to assist members of vigilance groups in the
areas in view of their contribution to security agencies.


“We also want to appeal to the media on sensational reporting and
the need to verify their facts before reporting. The media need to
know that the terrorists are banking on such sensational reports,"
he said.


The commissioner said victims of the attack were responding to
treatment in Michika General Hospital and already, the governor
had directed all health personnel in neighbouring Hong and Mubi
Local Governments to move to the affected area.


“The state emergency management agency has also been directed
to give urgent support to victims and relations of victims.”
