Some students of Baptist High School, Adeeke, Iwo caused a stir among their colleagues as they appeared in the school in choir robes and other
church garments.

Our correspondent, who visited the school observed
that the students came late to the school around 8:35 on Tuesday and headed to their various classes as their colleagues hailed them for their courage.

Many female Muslim students of the school wore
hijab on their uniforms and some members of the
Christian Association of Nigeria are 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.

Earlier, Justice Jide Falola of the Osun State High
Court had on June 3 given a verdict that Muslim
students should be allowed to wear hijab in all public schools in the state because it was part of their fundamental rights.

The CAN had held an emergency meeting following
the judgment and threatened that it would direct
Christian pupils to start wearing choir robes and
other religious garments to schools should the state
government implement the judgment.
