The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has faulted the President Muhammadu Buhari government’s position on the hijab saga.

The Government was quoted last week as saying that it would not interfere in the hijab imbroglio which has embroiled the South West.

In a press statement issued to DAILY POST on Tuesday by MURIC and signed by Professor Ishaq Akintola, its Director, the group said, “The Federal Government cannot afford to close its eyes to this serious human rights abuse within its domain.

The whole country is FG’s constituency. Isn’t FG concerned that the girl child is being chased out of school on account of her religion?

“Schoolgirls in hijab were locked out of the school gates in the University of Ibadan International School (UIS) and Federal University of Technology Staff School, Ogbomosho. The same has happened in Abeokuta and Lagos. Apart from this, the courts in the South West are saturated with hijab cases.

“The court cases underline the need for FG to direct the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation to invite all the commissioners for Justice in the affected states to discuss the issue.
There are serious implications involved in this hijab imbroglio. It is more than just a simple denial of a head cover. Those who deprive female Muslim children of the right to use hijab are engaging in child abuse, stigmatization and profiling. By treating the Muslim girl-child with contempt and derision, they expose her to ridicule, assault the dignity of her human person and rob her of her self-confidence.

“In addition, they promote child depression and education-fatigue in the girl-child because their hostile and illegal action is capable of discouraging the Muslim girl-child from attending school. This is paradoxical because various state governments have criminalized failure to attend school by any child of school age. Failure to indicate interest in the hijab affair in the South West will defeat FG’s campaign for girl-child education.

“It is equally important to add that FG’s lack of interest is already breeding impunity in illegality as other federal agencies have made it their cardinal duty to persecute Muslim women who wear hijab. The excesses manifest in the immigration department where Muslim women in hijab are forced to remove it before ‘capturing’ takes place for processing international passports.

The same is currently happening in the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) where women in hijab are subjected to this humiliating demand before ‘capturing’ for driving licences. The involvement of federal agencies in the victimization of Muslim women makes it more imperative for FG to show interest. It proves that the problem is not limited to the South West. It has a national spread.

“It requires strategic thinking. FG must rise to the occasion before it is too late. The Muslims are complaining now without being violent. We are still fortunate that MURIC, which is spearheading the matter is a non-violent human rights group which employs civilized methods to make its demands. We must not wait until extremist elements hijack the struggle. We remind FG that justice is the soul of peace. Those who deny one cannot enjoy the other.

“We, therefore, advise FG to issue a circular criminalizing the harassment of women in hijab in any government office in Nigeria. Furthermore, FG must educate these government functionaries on the illegality of disallowing hijab-wearing women from performing their civic responsibilities. Government must also go further by ensuring that any civil servant who is caught doing so after the enlightenment is duly punished.

The Nigerian constitution is rich in guidelines but compliance, implementation and enforcement are the problems. Refusal to allow a woman in hijab to perform a civic duty is a breach of Section 42 of the1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which stipulates that:

(1) A citizen of Nigeria of a particular community, ethnic group, place of origin, sex, RELIGION or political opinion shall not, by reason only that he is such a person:-

(a) be subjected either expressly by, or in the practical application of, any law in force in Nigeria or any executive or administrative action of the government (or its agencies-addition ours), to disabilities or RESTRICTIONS to which citizens of Nigeria, of other communities, ethnic groups, places of origin, sex, religion or political opinions are not made subject.

Why do people reason this way? Hijab or no hijab doesn't stop a child from learning.

The dude is a jihadist / closet terrorists apologist.

And a disgrace to omoluabis.

Can this fo0l not just let us focus on more pressing concerns for the citizenry of this country....na wa o....hijab fit put food for table

The same hijab these set of religious fanatics hide under to do all sort of atrocities.

This man is a dunce . Always fighting for the wrong reasons and causes . Very soon he will be fighting for causes like " there is not enough sugar in the garri of Muslims worldwide "

This man should be more worried about how fulanis denied him the right to sight the moon for donkey years despite all his headslamming and bootlicking to please them.

Very soon his followers will start putting bombs all over their body like their counterparts in the NE.

With the way this man is pursuing his agenda, it's obvious that terrorism in SW is an inevitable disaster that is about to explode . It's a matter of time.

Go to Iran for holidays, No
Go to Saudi Arabia, No
Where do you want to go to then? Paris, London, Rome, Berlin.
Whats ur name? Mohammed.....
Allahu Akbar

Why not start a Muslim/islamic school.?

Terror groups are loading in the SW. this MURIC will build the strongest terror organization in Yoruba land if his activities are not immidiately stoped.

You’re not Yoruba, so you can’t feel my pain. There is no big deal in raping underaged children boys and girls? there is no big deal in sending our farmers out of their farms? There is no big deal in radicalizing our children?

Yorubas should raise up and condemn this now. Na so BH started.

Ilorin brand of Islam is already scary. I don talk my own, we don't want full-blown terrorists in the South.

Yorubas will keep quiet on this one, because it's their Hausa slave masters

Amazing.

Thread is for Y muslims. Rated SW.

MURIC has been loud since the election, who are their sponsors?

To all the wailers shouting and wailing that Baba will Islamized Nigeria all these years, when is he going to start the Islamization nah?!

Is it after 2023?!
Madt people!!

Long term solution to this problem is to let MOOslimes have their own country where they can practice their immoral and unintelligent religion on themselves.
