Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide in Kwara State has joined Christian bodies in the state to kick against the use of hijab in its mission schools.
It will be recalled that the state government said it approved the use of hijab for female Muslim students in all public schools in the state after consulting with thought leaders and leaders of both Muslim and Christian communities.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on Sunday, Chairman/Spiritual Father of the church, Most Reverend Prophet Samuel Abidoye, said that the state government should return schools built by the church, “to forestall unnecessary trespass capable of leading to the breakdown of law and order in the state.”
The Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide in Kwara on Sunday rejected the use of Hijab by female students at the Cherubim and Seraphim College, llorin, ordered by the State Government.
The Chairman and Spiritual Father of the church, Most Reverend Samuel Abidoye, made the church’s position known to newsmen in Ilorin on Sunday.
According to Abidoye, the movement is against the use of the Muslim veil by female students of the school since the church would be responsible for the appointment of the management of the institution and decide on dress code and use of beret.
The Secretary of Ilorin District headquarters of the movement, Mr Samson Ibidoja, also stressed that the maintenance of the school has been the sole responsibility of the church.
