A female Muslim candidate writing the current exams of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Khadijat Eniola Anisere, was reportedly assaulted by a female supervisor of WAEC at Egan Grammar School, Igando, Lagos state.

Professor Ishaq Akintola, Director, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), informed about this in a statement made available to NAIJ.com on September 5, Monday.

According to the human rights organisation the incident occurred while candidates were taking biology on Friday, September 2, between 9.30 am and 12 noon.

The WAEC supervisor, who was shuttling from one center to the other, arrived the center and entered the examination hall where the Muslim girl was seated among many other candidates, clothed in hijab.

The statement further reads:

“She approached the hijabite and ordered her to remove her hijab. Khadijah pleaded that hijab was her mode of dressing as a Muslim. She further pleaded that she would feel totally naked if she removed the head cover.”

Obviously enraged and determined to enforce her illegal command, the WAEC supervisor yanked off the hijab from the poor girl’s head.

Khadijah, whose examination was already interrupted, burst into tears. “She cried throughout the rest of the examination period and was unable to continue taking the examination.

The incident was reported by members of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) at the human rights desk in Igando Police Station by 10 am on Saturday, September 3.

MURIC strongly condemned this assault on an innocent female Muslim teenager.

It defined the incident as the most bizarre, highly barbaric and totally deplorable.

This is a hate attack and a blatant act of Islamophobia. We see it as part of a grand design to retard the progress of Muslim youths.

Christian fanatics working in government agencies like WAEC have been instructed by hate preachers to create bottlenecks for Muslim youths by all possible means,” the statement added.

Section 38 (i) & (ii) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria not only grants freedom of religion but also stipulates its practice and manifestation. Hijab is therefore a legally recognized head cover for female Muslims.

The supervisor’s order for the removal of the hijab was unlawful, unconstitutional and therefore ultra vires.

The forceful removal of the candidate’s hijab constitutes assault in legal parlance.”

WAEC must identify this extremist supervisor and discipline her.

People like her are responsible for series of religious crises that have resulted in loss of lives and destruction of properties worth billions of naira.

What Nigeria needs most today is peace and stability and our public institutions cannot afford to create unnecessary tension at this point in time.

We assert that justice is the soul of peace and whoever denies one can never enjoy the other.

We therefore demand a public statement from WAEC on the supervisor’s identity and the official reprimand failing which WAEC should blame itself for the reaction of Muslims,” the statement concluded.

Earlier the WAEC said it will not make an exception to their requirement for passport pictures after some Islamic experts expressed concern over their insistence that Muslim girls need to remove a religious apparel, the hijab, before they could take their photos for registration.

My name is prophet I O Samuel I was born and raised under Anglican communion in Anambra state, Awka we were told we are the best and I became closer to Catholic families and found out it was a lie and met with so called white garments and saw great dedications and humility in another level in the past.
Most great men of God in Africa, bishops, prophets pastors, apostle’s were incubated through them as foundation of theirs gifts; I say truth is lie not trace their roots they may wipe the trace and have great reformations ; they may cover up the history with suits today and so called Pentecostal platforms ; but from your Go’s to Bishops to all your so called fathers and apostles they where born under one or two of these real denominations Celestial Church, Sabbath ; cherubim and Seraphim;Acppb Epkere Ufuma; Aladura and cac etc. Their great grand fathers served idols over the years when gospel came to Nigeria by Saint Samuel Ajayi Crowther team etc. They were in these’ local churches we condemn today.
Brothers and sisters we are one just that today ritualists and spiritualists has taken over pulpits on suits claiming to be pastors having secret alters behind the alters
Am not saying this for them to have a hide out in my claims never God will judge us all in good and in bad secret activities
The only person that’s was openly rejected was my mentor saint prophet Tb Joshua is on the social media no need to say much but can’t hide the great works of charity love and global miracle crusades that’s cut across Jewish nations Asia south America etc. on records but much in Nigeria and Africa only South Africa and Ghana once because of unbelievable and rejection.
what did he do as offense he did not join the Nigeria Pentecostal cabal of PFM etc they rejected him and Kumuyi and later accepted Kumuyi but Tb Joshua was rejected in life and in death.
A prophet is not recognized in his own country today one white garment prophet has been accepted nation wide by all Go’s, bishops etc. It pains me when we look at these things as we run the race of love and eternity let our fathers solve these problems of division in Nigeria Christianity and demolitions go on social media the legacy of today apostles and posters with prophets is exchange of words and condemning fathers if we don’t stop this another religion will crush Christianity in relevance governance and population in a short while i can only remind you of turkey where they had revivals by the first apostle they were all Christians now Muslims UK is latest Nigeria is next this prophecy may be slow but it will come to pass by our own biological children ;
Saint Follow The Crowd Follow The Crowd Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon He Should Not Meet Nigeria Church Divided Like This No Love We Can’t Fix A Blessed Country Shame On Us A Political Policy Can Close Your Church Keep playing Cabal Games With The Kingdom; I bet me mark my words and check my prophecies of the past events globally am in shock at the internal Christian hatred for our own brothers may God interpret this words to the world because I spoke from the realm of the prophetic in the linage of Abraham ; Moses and Elijah .
