#PresidentialMediaChat; President Buhari considers the ban of Hijab ...

President Buhari has said that his government may ban the use of hijab by muslim women as a result of the use of female suicide bombers by Boko Haram insurgents.

He made this declaration during the presidential media chat.

“Hijab would have to be banned if suicide bombing continues,” noted  Buhari

Hijab is that veil that most Muslim women beyond the age of puberty use to cover their head and chest,  in the presence of adult males outside of their immediate family and, according to some interpretations, in the presence of adult non-Muslim females outside of their immediate family.
