VIDEO: STUDENT BARRED FROM FEDERAL STAFF SCHOOL, ILORIN FOR REFUSING TO REMOVE HIJAB

A video has emerged from the Federal Staff School, Adewole, Ilorin, showing a female student being denied entry into the school premises after she refused to remove her hijab.

According to eyewitnesses, the school management allegedly instructed the student to take off her hijab as a condition for gaining entry. When she firmly declined, citing her right to wear the hijab, she was stopped at the gate and prevented from joining her classmates.

The incident has triggered widespread conversations online, with many Nigerians condemning the school’s action as discriminatory and unconstitutional. Critics argue that denying a student access to education because of her religious attire infringes on her fundamental rights.

The video has since gone viral, drawing calls from concerned individuals and advocacy groups for immediate investigation. Many are urging education authorities to step in and ensure that no student is subjected to religious discrimination in any learning environment.
