Hijab: MURIC calls for suspension of principal
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has reacted to the violence that erupted in Oyun Baptist Secondary School, Ijagbo in Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State, over the controversial hijab dress code.
Reacting to the development, MURIC, in a statement by its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Thursday, condemned the incident.
It also called for the school principal to be suspended with immediate effect for not obeying the government’s circular which permitted the use of hijab.
MURIC’s statement read in part, “We strongly condemn this attack on innocent and underaged children. It’s irresponsible, barbaric and inhuman. The protesting girls were not violent.
“The school must be shut down immediately to forestall further breakdown of law and order.
“The school principal must be suspended with immediate effect.
“Government should decide other disciplinary action or actions to be taken against the school principal for disobeying the government’s circular which approved the use of hijab.
“All those injured should be treated at the expense of the state government.
“In case of death from injuries sustained during the attack, full compensation should be paid to the parents of the victim or victims.
“Expenses incurred by the government in handling this case should be deducted from the principal’s gratuity on his retirement.
“The state government should add its identity to the names of all schools in the state, e.g. Oyun Baptist High School should become ‘Oyun Government Baptist High School’.”
