The lawyer who was at the forefront of the fight to reinstate the use of hijab in public schools in Lagos State has died.
Gani Adetola-Kaseem, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, passed away in the early hours of Monday at the AB Specialist Hospital, Surulere, after a brief illness, the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) said in a statement.
He was 69.
Mr. Adetola-Kaseem was the lead counsel in the hijab controversy suitinvolving Moriam Oyeniyi and the MSSN against the Lagos State government.
An appeal court in 2016 overturned the judgment of a Lagos State High Court which banned the use of Hijab in public primary and secondary schools in the state.
The Lagos State government is currently at the Supreme Court challenging the decision of the appellate court.
