The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has released a press statement in which it claims that the Management of the Nigerian Law School is provoking Muslims with its alleged insistence that Muslim ladies should not wear hijab to its customary dinner. Read the press release next:

NIGERIAN LAW SCHOOLS PROVOKING MUSLIMS

Although the dust is yet to settle on the call to bar hijab saga featuring Amasa Firdaus, the six Nigerian Law School campuses across the nation may not allow female Muslim students due for Bar Part II to wear their hijabs during the 2017/2018 First Term Law Dinner, which started yesterday, Wednesday, 13th February, 2018. The dinners will run till tomorrow, Thursday, 15th February, 2018.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) warns that any attempt to bar female Muslim law students who wish to use hijab from doing so is an infringement on Allah-given fundamental rights of those students as entrenched in Section 38 (i) & (ii) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Already, MURIC has received reports of a number of female Muslim law students at the Agbani, Enugu, Lagos and Abuja campuses who are allegedly being threatened with disciplinary measures should they use the Hijab at the Law Dinner.

We remind authorities of these Law School campuses of the provisions of Section 42 of the Nigerian Constitution which prohibits the placing of any citizen under any internally formulated restriction. We also call attention to Section 13 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act (1991) which forbids officials from taking any action “prejudicial to the rights of any person knowing that such act is unlawful or contrary to any government policy”
We affirm clearly, emphatically and unequivocally that whatever emanates from any circular in any Nigerian institution (the Law Schools included) must comply with the dictates of the Nigerian Constitution which is the font et origo of all laws, rules, regulations, provisions and directives in this country.

MURIC warns that certain campuses of the Nigerian Law Schools are deliberately precipitating crisis by stereotyping female Muslim students on the issue of hijab. Those who seek to play God in the lives of Nigerian Muslims are religious fanatics bent on intimidating, oppressing and persecuting Muslims.
This is a dangerous situation capable of snowballing into a religious crisis whose consequences no one can predict. The Qur’an affirms that oppression is worse than killing (Qur’an 2:191). This verse underlines the gravity of the hijab phenomenon. Female Muslims are being persecuted in order to give undue advantage to non-Muslims. It is religious apartheid. It is unacceptable. We will rather be free men in our graves than live like puppets and second class citizens.

Those who make rules and regulations impossible to obey make it impossible not to disobey. Law Schools where anti-Muslim dressing codes are issued in a multi-religious Nigeria do not belong to decent and accommodating communities of men and women.

While MURIC advocates non-violence in its interventions (based on its avowed motto, ‘Dialogue, Not Violence’), Nigerian Law Schools should not wait until radical and anti-dialogue elements hijack the initiative and start disrupting Law School Dinners. They may even do more. The fact that these anti-Muslim antics are not attempted anywhere in the core North suggests tactical conspiracy against Nigerian Muslims by authorities of those Law Schools where the profiling and persecution of Muslims have become the stock-in-trade.
Finally, we call on the Federal Government and the National Assembly (particularly the House of Representatives where the Amasa Firdaus case is still being investigated) to turn its attention to what is going on in the Law School Dinners across the country. Muslims are not being violent now but they are being persecuted. Those who fail to listen to the dialogue group may have cause to regret it sooner or later.

Devil punish muric
The leadership and the followers of muric they mad for head

Mumu Rights Concern (MURIC) ur Fulani people are murdering Christians and it's okay.

May God recompense all of you speedily.

2Th 1:6
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

Stylishly playing victim mentality to install their religion in every aspect of government here and around the world too.

Religion + law, inside Nigeria constitution

Rubbish. Institutions are not run by religious law but law of the land. The girl played herself. She wasted her parents money. Please the Muric should license her and stop blabbing like parrot. This should serve as deterrent to others. The law is blind to how you feel or from the perception you see it and it is never emotional.

Pure nonsense

Useless

Follow the rules. No one is provoking you.

If hijab is the problem, why not encourage female Muslims to study Sharia law instead of posing as sacred cows.

Law school is not for everyone but if you must go then you must respect the rules of the organisation including dressing

Provoke ko

Prevent ni

All these mumudeens should go and chill abeg

SHATTAP!

The MURIC should fight for just one thing:

Female Lawyers should be allowed to practice in Sharia Courts.

This wahala people again.

I think MURIC should be classified a terrorist organization.

Fool

God save our nation.

How come this one man organisation always makes d news ehn

This troublesome set of people are never staisfied with anything and anyone, anywhere in the world. They always want to be treated differently.

Rubbish!

Maybe MURIC should demand for a Muslim law school.

No matter how hard a dog barks, it can never replicate the roar of a lion...

Religion cannot governor us the society should.. If we live in a mix society then everybody must accommodation and tolerance.. Religion should respect other institutions if they want same..

Can't they talk without threatening violence?

these hypocrites will be calling people infidels but they don't waste time in administering doggy to a 7 yr old

bekongtony:
Can't they talk without threatening violence?

you talk as if you don't know these masquerade and towel wrapping people

Hahahahaha. To the uneducated,MURIC sounds like they might be making sense. But here is the problem:
1. She knew she had to wear the lawyer garb BEFORE SHE EVEN STARTED THE COURSE.
2. Even if she finally decides to wear the garb,she should be punished ,yes, punished for actions unbecoming of a lawyer and also for bringing negative publicity to the profession as a result of her selfish actions. If she really wanted to become a lawyer, why not focus on Sharia law and wear whatever she pleases.

The law profession in Nigeria is one in which the belief that all men and women are equal in the eyes of the law is a given standard.
MURIC ARE WORSENING THE SITUATION BY TRYING TO Coerce their assumptions on the law society. Her best bet is to find a good lawyer and take this up all the way to the Supreme Court. Unfortunately Darling,it's gonna take you a couple of years though.

You nailed it.Thanks dear.

Hmm

The Qur’an affirms that oppression is worse than killing (Qur’an 2:191)

In other words, instead of oppressing us, we will kill.

This is the clear difference with the God of the bible.

But if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.1 Peter 4:16
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:12

Nigerian Law Schools should not wait until radical and anti-dialogue elements hijack the initiative and start disrupting Law School Dinners. They may even do more.

These guys already have a plan to disrupt dinners, just watch

MURIC. Is it a sex position?
