The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has expressed disappointment over the prohibition of female Muslim students from wearing Hijab at Nigerian law schools. In a statement released by the organization's Executive Director, Professor Isiaq Akintola, MURIC denounced the incident as unfortunate and sad. Akintola alleged that female Muslim students in law schools nationwide were denied the right to wear Hijab on Saturday, 31st November, 2026.
He further condemned the harassment and intimidation faced by these students, who were barred from entering examination halls and forced to wait outside for an hour before removing their hijabs. This incident prompted MURIC to call for a suspension of all examinations in law schools until an investigation into the matter is completed.
MURIC strongly opposes the disruption of the educational pursuits of innocent Muslim female students, deeming it crude, irrational, and sadistic.
