WATCH: Uproar as Muslim organisations protest postponement of Firdaus’ hijab controversy
A coalition of Muslim Organisation, on Wednesday, protested the decision of the House of Representatives Committee on Justice and Judiciary, to cancel a public hearing on the hijab controversy involving Amass Firdus.
Following a court injunction, the public hearing of the hijab controversy between the Nigerian Law School and Amass Firdus, the school graduate, had been slated for Wednesday (today).
Firdaus had on December 12, 2017, been denied her call to bar over her refusal to take off her hijab.
She was not permitted by the Body of Benchers to enter the International Conference Centre, where the call to bar is usually held.
She was said to have broken the dress code set by the Nigerian law school by wearing the wig on top of her hijab.
