Hijab victory: MSSN Isolo hails judiciary for upholding rule of law

BEING A CONGRATULATORY PRESS RELEASE BY THE  AMIR (PRESIDENT) MUSLIM STUDENTS’ SOCIETY OF NIGERIA, ISOLO AREA COUNCIL, ABDULLATEEF AILERU, ON THE REAFFIRMED TRIUMPH OF THE MUSLIM UMMAH OVER THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT IN THE ENDURING LEGAL TUSSLE OVER THE RIGHT OF MUSLIM STUDENTS TO USE HIJAB IN SCHOOLS

On behalf of the teeming members of my Area Council, I hereby felicitate with and congratulate the Lagos State Amir of the Society, Dr. Saheed Ashafa, members and the entire Lagos State Muslim Community, on the recurring triumph and victory in the enduring legal tussle with the Lagos State Government, bothering on the right of Muslim Students to use Hijab in schools without harassment, following the decision of the Court of Appeal to strike out a motion of the State Government, seeking an Injunction to stop the use of Hijab in Lagos State on Tuesday 7th February, 2017.

All praises and thanks belong to Allah for the recurring victory which He has granted continually all the way through the span of the rather enduring legal tussle, in line with His promise to us (His party) in the holy Qur’an (Chapter 37:173), where He says, (interpretation of the meaning) “and that, verily, Our hosts – they indeed – would (in the end) be victorious.

I salute the doggedness and resoluteness of the Amir, the MSSN LSAU, the legal team, parents and families of the victims of the victimisation of the School authorities in Lagos State who were maltreated for wearing them home on their school uniforms, an action that led to the legal engagement.

We also hail the judiciary in its stride at protecting the rule of law, as we enjoin the generality of the Muslim Ummah to remain steadfast, law abiding and role models to others in the society.

KUDOS TO THE AMIR MSSN LSAU,
CONGRATULATIONS TO MEMBERS OF MSSN,
VICTORY TO THE GENERALITY OF THE UMMAH
