Hijab: If you don’t like the judgment, walk naked – Sani slams Christians

Former Kaduna lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has fired back at Nigerians, especially those criticising the Supreme Court ruling which allows school girls to wear hijab in public schools.

IDOMA VOICE reports that the apex court on Friday last week, ruled that Islamic female students should be allowed to appear in Lagos State public schools with their hijab.

The development, which angered many Christians, triggered a Lagos-based human right lawyer, Malcom Omoirhobo to appear in the Supreme Court in Abuja on Thursday, dressed as a native doctor, claiming it is his own religion.

Reacting, Shehu Sani in a post on his verified Facebook page, expressed anger over the ongoing protests against the approval of hijab.

He wrote, “The lawyer who went to the Supreme Court in the garb of a Herbalist or Traditional religionists should have gone there naked; that is the original appearance of our ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago.

“If you don’t like the Hijab ruling, remove your clothes completely and cover some parts with leaves and the protest is real”.
