There was wild jubilation at the premises of the Court of Appeal in Lagos State, yesterday, when the right to wear Hijab, Islamic headscarf, in public primary and secondary schools was granted.

After the judgement, Muslim faithful were seen shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, ‘Alihamdulilah’, meaning Allah is the greatest and all thanks is due to Allah, respectively.

But in a swift reaction, the Lagos State government said it is still studying the judgement.

In a telephone reaction, Commissioner for Information, Mr Steve Ayorinde, said the appellate court delivered its judgement based on its wisdom but the government will have to study it critically to know the next line of action.
