The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria have called on the Kwara state government to adequately compensate the family of Habeeb Idris who died as a result of the recent violent hijab crisis in the Oyun Baptist High School Ijagbo, Oyun local government area of Kwara state.
The Amir of the Kwara Area unit of group Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulmumin made the call while speaking with newsmen today in ilorin.He berated the state government for reopening the school while implementation of the report by the panel of inquiry and justice on the matter was still being awaited.
The Muslim group while calling on the state government to bring suspected sponsors, executors and influencers of the crisis to justice, said “it is only the government that has the machinery to do this and it should do so”.
It would be recalled that violence erupted in the school on the 3rd of February this year, over an argument on the use of hijab by female students, leading to the killing of one Habeeb Idris while several other people reportedly sustained gunshot injuries.
