Adamawa State Considers Review Of Use Of Hijab

Adamawa State Government is considering
temporary review of the use of hijab in
security prone areas as part of measures to
contain suicide bombers.

The state Commissioner for Information and
Strategy, Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, announced
this on Sunday in Yola.

He was addressing newsmen on the
outcome of an emergency security meeting
over the Friday’s twin bomb blasts in
Madagali market that led to many dead and
injuries.

Sajoh said Governor Muhammadu Bindow
would meet with members of Adamawa
Muslim Council and other stakeholders to
discuss the possibility of taking that
temporary measure, adding that those that
carried out the Madagali suicide attack were
in hijab.

Sajoh said the meeting also underscored the
need for people to be more vigilant during
this festive period and in places like markets,
motor parks, churches and mosques.

“We also resolved in the meeting, based on
security recommendations, to assist
members of vigilance groups in the areas in
view of their contribution to security
agencies.”
