It was an atmosphere of drama in Osun State as many Christian Secondary School Students stormed their schools with Church garments and robes following a recent verdict given by Justice Jide Falola of the Osun State High Court on June 3 that Muslim students in all Public Schools in Osun state should be allowed to wear hijab because it was part of their fundamental rights.
In reaction to the verdict, the Christian Association of Nigeria held an emergency meeting and threatened that it would direct Christian students to start wearing choir robes and other religious garments to schools should the state government implement the judgment.
This week, many female Muslim students of the Baptist High School, Iwo wore hijab on their uniforms and Christian students on the other hand wore church garments and choir robes. Some members of the Christian Association of Nigeria were in the school to monitor the reaction of the teachers to the mode of dressing of their children.
No student was chased out of the classes for appearing in different clothes and all the students irrespective of their chosen uniforms are being taught by their teachers.
