There was pandemonium in Osun State on Tuesday, when some students of Baptist High School, Adeeke, Iwo, stormed the school in their church garments.
It would be recalled that there had been controversies in Osun State over a ruling that authorised the wearing of hijab, a veil worn by Muslim women, to school.
Christians in the state threatened that if the policy is implemented, they would force their children to wear their choir or church garments to school.
According to Punch, some students of the Baptist High School, who came late to school adoring the garments around 8:35am, were hailed by their colleagues as they headed to their various classes.
“Many female Muslim students of the school wore hijab on their uniforms and some members of the Christian Association of Nigeria are in the school to monitor the reaction of the teachers to the mode of dressing of their children.
“No student was chased out of the classes for appearing in different clothes and all the students irrespective of their chosen uniforms are being taught by their teachers,” Punch reports.
