CAN has failed to learn from History. We will see who blinks first - MURIC reacts to - Edoman - 03-18-2021 CAN has failed to learn from History. We will see who blinks first - MURIC reacts to hijab crisis in Kwara schools The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said that the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has not learned from history and that it will see who blinks first as it concerns the crisis in Kwara schools over a court ruling approving Muslim female students to wear hijab to school. Some schools built by churches in the state have rejected the court ruling, insisting that Hijabs will never be allowed in their school. On Wednesday, March 17, a faceoff between Christain and Muslim parents over the Hijab crisis erupted at the Baptist Secondary School, Surulere in Ilorin, the state capital, leaving three injured as both parties threw stones at each other. Read here. In a statement released by Ishaq Akintola, director of the Nigerian Islamic human rights group, he accused CAN of instigating a crisis. He wondered why the Christian leaders have refused to comply with the court's ruling. He called on the state government to hold the leadership of the Christian body in the state responsible if the crisis goes beyond the extent it currently is. His statement in part reads; Quote:"We are perturbed that people who claim to be civilised are disrespecting the rule of law. CAN is to blame for all these. CAN was the one that called on its members to occupy that school. Fortunately, the ugly scene only played out in one out of ten schools. But it is a big shame that in the 21st century, Kwara CAN is turning its members against democratic norms, against the rule of law. RE: CAN has failed to learn from History.

The Christian body in a statement released after a clash between Christians and Muslims in Ilorin following a dispute on wearing of hijab by Muslim students in government aided Christian schools, declared the Governor's pronouncement on wearing of hijab in Christian schools as being in violation of a court's directive on the matter. CAN also stated that Governor AbdulRazaq should be held responsible if any damage is done to any church or anyone is injured on the matter. The statement read; Quote:“We learnt that the State Government has ordered the reopening of the closed schools without resolving the crisis. |
