It was further learnt that there was chaos at Baptist School, Surulere over the issue before the police intervened.
The Kwara State government had not reacted to the development as at the time of filling this report.
The government late last night issued a statement through the Ministry of Education ordering the reopening of the affected schools.
“The closure of the schools became necessary to forestall security breaches which may affect lives and properties. Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Mrs Kemi Adeosun said in a statement.
“The government is convinced that its policy to allow willing Muslim schoolgirls to wear their hijab in public schools will lead to sustainable peace and communal harmony anchored on mutual respect and understanding.”
