President Muhammadu should ban vehicles, handbags, cell phones, motorcycles and suits instead of the hijab, the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Lagos state area unit, has said. The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has also questioned why army and police uniforms have not been banned despite being used by bandits. Many bombings have been carried out by Boko Haram fighters wearing hijab, most of them female. The president said on Thursday that he would consider banning the hijab in order to checkmate Boko Haram.
Chad, a Muslim-majority country, banned the use of hijab following two attacks carried out in the country. Saheed Ashafa, the amir of MSSN LSAU, said: “If Hijab ban must be considered, then the government has to also ban use of vehicles, hand bags, cell phones, motorcycles and suits because more evils have been perpetuated through them. “It’s totally illogical to attach Boko Haram attacks to a dress code or pattern. Our Hijab is a garment of honour; it is an apparel of modesty and an outfit commanded to be worn by Allah.” He said it would be a victory for Boko Haram if hijab is banned. “It is known to everyone that Hijab is worn by Muslims and a ban on the religious garment is an attack on Islam,” he said.
