Use Of Hijab: Supreme Court sets aside ban in Lagos schools

The Supreme Court, on Friday, invalidated the restriction the Lagos state government placed on the use of head covering veil (Hijab) by female Muslim students in its public primary and secondary schools.

A seven-man panel of Justices of the apex court, in a split decision of five to two, affirmed the earlier decision of the Lagos Division of Court of Appeal, which nullified a High Court judgmentthat banned female students from wearing Hijab with their school uniforms.
