Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federation of Muslim Women Associations in Nigeria (FOMWAN) in Kwara State has described the killing of a young boy during a protest over the use of Hijab as unacceptable.<\/p>\n

The association in a statement tasked the Kwara State government not to allow the violence degenerate into a religious crisis.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that Habeeb Idris was last week killed during a protest over the use of Hijab in Kwara state last week.<\/p>\n

FOMWAN National President, Hajia Rafi\u2019ah Idowu Sanni, in the statement, commiserated with parents and the family of the deceased.<\/p>\n

She appealed to the Kwara State Muslim community to continue to tow the path of peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a good development at all. Unleashing such terror on Muslims who were on a peaceful protest should be condemned in strong terms by every right-thinking individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cFOMWAN at the National level frowns at such an unwarranted killing of an innocent soul. We are saddened by the dimension the situation is taking.<\/p>\n

\u201cHijab is a commandment in the Glorious Quran for female Muslims.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not compulsory on anyone who is not a Muslim. Anyone can dress in line with the teachings of his or her faith. We are people of guidance<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to further remind our Muslim brothers in Kwara State that Islam preaches peaceful coexistence hence they should not succumb to any act of provocation from individuals or association as this may end up throwing the state into an unending crisis\u201d.<\/p>\n
