Students in Osun wore Church robes to school (picture)

It was a strange day in Iwo, Osun state after  some students of Baptist High School, Adeeke, arrived their school in Celestial church sutana, choir robes and other church garments.

According to reports, many female Muslim students of the school wore hijab on their uniforms as 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.

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.
