Christians and Muslims clashed in Ilorin, Kwara state capital today March 17 after the state government reopened 10 Christian schools which were initially shut down over a hijab controversy.

It was learnt that students wearing hijab were disallowed from entering Baptist School, Surulere by some protesting Christians.

The situation grew worse as angry Christian and Muslim faithful threw various objects including stones and plastic chairs at themselves.

The security operatives close to the school had to call for reinforcement to calm the situation. The operatives dispersed them with tear gas.

During their protest, the Christians displayed placards with various inscriptions such as ‘No Hijab in Baptist Schools and all mission/grant-aided schools’, ‘Otoge, give us back our schools, among others.

Correspondent gathered that both Muslim and Christian organisations had mobilised their members to monitor activities at the reopened schools on Wednesday.

It was also learnt that there was a protest at C&S College, Sabo Oke, Ilorin.

The protesters reportedly dressed in white garments and caps and peevented Muslim pupils from entering the school with their hijab.

The government shut the 10 schools on February 19, 2021, following a crisis on the wearing of Hijab by Muslim female students who are attending the schools.

Haha! Muslims are good at throwing stones. They do it very well in mecca. Christians should scamper for safety ASAP.
