A law school graduate identified as Amasa Firdaus wasn’t called to the Nigerian bar on the 12th of December 2017 because she was wearing an muslim apparel for women known as hijab. Firdaus, a 2.1 graduate from University Of Ilorin refused to remove her hijab as she insisted on wearing her wig on it.

With the failure of Amasa Firdaus to be called on the 12th of December this year, it means she can only be called next year and that is only if she is seen as fit and proper and the same scenario does not occur. Meanwhile sources at the ICC stated that before the ceremonies were to begin, all Muslims were respectfully asked to remove their hijabs prior to entering the hall. This request was complied with by all the Muslims present except Amasa Firdaus who vehemently refused to remove hers.
In the process of her protests and despite entreaties made to her by other Muslims she was denied entry into the hall by the Body of Benchers. During the ceremony, a Respected former Chief Justice of Nigeria also met with Amasa Firdaus to convince her to remove her hijab but she did not heed the pleadings as she reiterated that even at gun point she would never remove her Hijab. The story has gone viral courtesy of her friend @ Savvy_Ruqqy, and people have been reacting to it with many saying she went against the law. Here is what her friend shared
