Mr Omirhobo, who appeared in court with white chalk-drawn around his right eye, had feathers stuck to his wig and cowry bracelets around his wrists.He tied a red wrapper around his waist as a replacement for grey trousers lawyers usually wear as part of their uniform.
He said if the school pupils can wear hijab, the mode of their worship, to school, any attempts to stop him to appear in his faith’s attire would amount to a violation of his fundamental right. “I had a nice time in court before my lords,” the lawyer said, adding that the Justices of the Supreme Court were pleased with his dressing.
He expressed his gratitude to the Supreme Court and encouraged the police, those in the Army, the Navy, doctors and others to also dress in their mode of religion in their places of work.
The ApexCourt has just set 'itself' on a collusion course!! The courts will be the first litmus test.
I'm expecting more of this. This is commendable
Very lovely. This is Tanko's only achievement as CJN. If you know another, kindly inform me.
That is your choice nobody care.
Sorry Mr lawyer let us think very well Allah is great
