Mr James Idoghor, a human rights
activist has called on the federal
government to ban the use of veil or
hijab by women claiming that hoodlums
were hiding under it to perpetuate
crime.
Vanguard reports that the activist
from Sapele, Delta state expressed
concern about the continued case of
the missing girls who were abducted
from their school in Chibok. He said
the killing and terror attack in the
country especially in the northern
part of the country were carried out
by people who wore veils.
“Most of the perpetrators of the
heinous crimes usually wear veils to
disguise their gender and motives.”
He noted that the killing was
becoming an everyday affair and the
government needed to take charge of
the situation.
“No democratic country will tolerate
any religious norm that has turned
dangerous to the precious lives of
her citizenry. This government
should not pay deaf ears to the cries
of her citizens. People are dying in
their dozens by the day. The wearing
of veils must be stopped.”
A week ago, The National Youth
Service Corps insisted that the use of
hijabs on camps was not allowed due
to concern for security
Meanwhile, an attack was carried
out on Friday, November 27 that
claimed the lives of some Muslims on
procession. The leader of the group
claimed the attack was not carried
out by Boko Haram fighters as
widely suspected. Instead he claimed
to know who the real culprits were
and accused the Department of State
Service (DSS) of having
foreknowledge of the attack.
