Report has it that about five girls were given letter of suspension for wearing Hijab in Isolo secondary school in Lagos. This was revealed in a press statement issued by Mutiat Orolu-Balogun, the executive director of Hijab Rights Advocacy Initiative. 

This reportedly happened despite that the Court of Appeal ruled that Muslim students can wear hijab to school in Lagos.

Read below; 

No fewer than 5 girls including the Assistant Head girl were given letter of suspension for wearing Hijab in school.

The new principal Mrs JO Sadare made it clear that she would not permit the Hijab to be worn in the school, despite the fact that the students has been doing so for more than two years.

The subsisting Judgment of the Court of Appeal in the case of Asiyat Abdulkareem vs LASG stated unequivocally that to wear Hijab by students whether within or outside the school was a Fundamental Human Right entrenched in the constitution.

Mrs Sadare is asking Muslim girls to choose between their religion and getting an education! And she is infringing on the Fundamental Rights of these students.

We are employing all legal and peaceful means to uphold the rights of our children. We implore all well meaning Lagosians, Nigerians and citizens of conscience to support us.

We'll keep you updated as soon as we have more.

Thank you.

Ok

Good

Is the School a Government or Private one?
Is it Against the School rules to Wear such?

If it's against the School Rules or a Private School, then it shouldn't be a Case

ok

New Principal should comply with the Rule of law. I hope this complaint is being channeled to the right quarters.

Wear school uniform when you're going to school and hijab when you're at home or at a religious gathering. What's difficult to understand there?

but do we need this religion fight in Nigeria?

War loading here

This is Nigeria!!

This people just want to be cursing confusion because we now have Islamist and terrorists in government. Hsve they not been wearing uniform?.mshewww.

Please keep your comments/arguments short because I'm just here to read comments

They should allow them na. Muslims and anyone who wishes to cover their hair. Best thing is for schools to have a standard hair cover (color, size, styles allowed ) for girls who desire to use it.

.

MUSLIMS should stop harassing the rest of us with this their hijab thing. It is jumpy time these days. Shekarau girls can hide something in there..

What religion and it's consequence will cost Nigeria would be too grave to imagine

Muslims don't understand what rules are, reasons why they want to force it down our throats.

If they cannot keep to the school rules and regulations, the so called Islamic activists should send the girls to Iraq or Iran for their education. People should stop being stupid in the name of religion.

That staff should be querried.
