The Supreme Court erroneously held that wearing the hijab was an Islamic injunction and an act of worship required of Muslims and consequently, the banning of female Muslim students from wearing Hijab to school is a violation of their fundamental rights to freedom of thought, conscience, religion, dignity of human persons and freedom from discrimination.
I respectfully submit that the Supreme Court’s decision allowing female students to wear Hijab, is a flagrant violation of section 10 of the Nigerian constitution which provides for the secularity of Nigeria by prohibiting the Government of the Federation or of a state from adopting any religion as state religion.
How will our public schools look like if the children of traditionalists come to school with white powder on their faces and necks with charm bracelet on their arms and cowrie’s or life tortoise tied around their necks? How will our public schools look like if children from Rastafarian families leave their dreadlocks unkempt or wear their Rasta cap or tam in line with their religious belief?
Whether we admit it or not, the Supreme Court’s decision will give rise to the identification of students’ religion by their dress code which in turn will bring about discrimination, favouritism, nepotism, victimisation, disunity and distraction in the public school system.
The CJN as a Sharia court judge only qualified is being used as a willing tool in an attempt to Islamize the country!
