Hijab: Kwara Muslim stakeholders demand release of panel report on Ijagbo crisis

The Kwara State Muslim Stakeholders Association have demanded that the state government release the white paper submitted by the panel of inquiry into the Oyun Baptist High School, Ijagbo crisis.

The Muslim stakeholders who spoke at a press conference in Ilorin demanded that the government take more responsibility by ensuring that the killers of Habeeb Idris are apprehended and prosecuted.

The crisis in the school over the use of Hijab had led to the death of one Habeeb Idris and maiming of 10 others in February.
