The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) branch has protested over alleged bullying and victimization by the school management against students wearing Niqab.
In the protest videos and pictures sighted by Tribune Online on X (formerly Twitter), the students, in their numbers, took to the University’s gate on Monday, carrying placards with different inscriptions to protest against the development.
According to them, it is beyond any justification for the school management to allow some students to roam almost naked around the school premises and have issues with Muslim students who are covering their bodies with niqabs.
Taking to Twitter to further air their grievances over the issue, the FUNAAB branch of MSSN wrote, “The bullying from the school management towards Niqab using sisters is getting out of hand. We have the right to dress according to our beliefs!”
In another post, the Muslim students’ body wondered why students have to face the University disciplinary committee just because of practicing their religion.
“Why do our Niqab-using sisters have to face the Student Disciplinary Committee for practicing their religion?”
“Why do we have to live in hardship on FUNAAB Campus for practicing our religion? Niqab is part of the Islamic dressing for Muslim ladies, it’s our right!” another post read.
