Adamawa State Government is considering temporary review of the use of hijab in security prone areas as part of measures to contain suicide bombers. The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, announced this on Sunday in Yola. He was addressing newsmen on the outcome of an emergency security meeting over the Friday’s twin bomb blasts in Madagali market that led to many dead and injuries. Sajoh said Governor Muhammadu Bindow would meet with members of Adamawa Muslim Council and other stakeholders to discuss the possibility of taking that temporary measure, adding that those that carried out the Madagali suicide attack were in hijab. Sajoh said the meeting also underscored the need for people to be more vigilant during this festive period and in places like markets, motor parks, churches and mosques. “We also resolved in the meeting, based on security recommendations, to assist members of vigilance groups in the areas in view of their contribution to security agencies.” http://conscienceradiong.com/news/adamawa-blast-govt-to-review-use-of-hijab.php

No need.

Hijab must stay!

Hmmm

The hijab needs an outright ban. It is an attire that only reminds us of the terror and hypocrisy of Islam.
Hijab is a security threat.

Noooo?
You must wear it!

Adamawa peeps can easily discard Hijab

They should as well mandate it for their men to start using hijab and that big turban..



Bunch of hypocrites.

Maybe the Kaduna designation and treatment of Shiites as insurgents should be considered and applied to islam in its totality until adherents figure out how to live in peace... Whilst d lessons on peaceful coexistence is ongoing, the nasties among them should be obliterated with d same gruesome precision as d Army applies on unarmed civilians including women n children.

Just ban Wahhabi islam in the state and have peace of mind.

not only in Adamawa but the whole of Nigeria.

How can u wear a nice cloth the cover it up with black flowing gown and cover face. Self destruction is going on.

The hijabs were used by the prostitutes to conceal their identities in the old testament. The religious hypocrites copied it without the full knowledge of its origin and purpose.

I'm not against any religion, but there are shorter hijabs that can replace the long ones they wear over there. Even in schools, these hijabs are used for malpractice, stealing etc.

Subhanallah!

you're still "considering"? ... . own, continue

What about burkini??

my friend,alhaji ollah1 wont like this news o

Nooo ooh, why naw?Hijab must stay. You want them to expose their curves? Thats indecent

Suicide bombing ninjas

Following the recent attacks that killed at least 36 persons at a market in Madagali, the Adamawa State government is considering a ban on hijab in ‘flashpoint areas’ as part of measures to prevent attacks by female suicide bombers.

Briefing newsmen shortly after an emergency security meeting yesterday in Yola, the Commissioner of Information, Ahmad Sajoh, said government would work with Muslim leaders to take a position that would not infringe on religious rights, saying the fact that the Friday attack was carried out by two female attackers wearing Hijab called for some form of restriction.

He said the meeting which was attended by the military, the police and paramilitary agencies looked at the security situation in the state with a view to taking decisions that would ensure security of lives and property especially as the festive period approaches.

good

They should continue using it.

When people lack intelligence and common sense, they hide it under spirituality.

Religion should not deprive you of basic reasoning.

Taking necessary precautions .
it should be banned temporarily due to Security reasons for the time being, hijab has been used for different kinds of atrocities by some iota of Nigeria's Northern population, i am a muslim and i can categorically tell you the kinds of things alike ladies use hijab for, ranging from malpractice, to hidden prostitution, stealing and etc.
but it should also be noted that religion resides in the heart of a believer.

Whatever is best for them.

Firefire:
No need.

Hijab must stay!

Exactly. If they go ahead with this plan, it will only proved they are hypocrites not true muslims
