Principal In Hot Soup For Disallowing Ramadan Fast In Her School
Mrs. Juba F.O, a secondary school principal has been reported to the DSS for infringing on her students' religious rights during the Ramadan fast
A secondary principal, Mrs. Juba F.O, has been reported to the Department of State Security (DSS) for not permitting Muslim pupils in her school to participate in the ongoing Ramadan fast.
Juba, the Principal of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta International School (FUNIS), allegedly denied some boarding students of the opportunity to fulfil their religious obligation in the holy month of Ramadan.
A parent, whose children were among those affected, Abd-Semiu Aderemi petitioned the DSS over the matter through his lawyer, Agboke Muti.
According to the July 17 dated petition, the principal had refused to shift ground on the 'religious neutrality' of the school, even after a visit from Mr. Aderemi.
The petition further stated that, irrespective of religious backgrounds, students of the institution are forced to attend Christian themed events like Christmas Carols.
"“Most important to note is the fact that irrespective of the students’ and parents’ religious inclination, attendance at such Christmas carol is not optional but extremely compulsory.
It was therefore argued that the claims of religious neutrality was untrue given that parents are forced to pay for such religious activities.
"The Muslim parents have paid several times for the Christian Carol for their children and in these periods of payment nobody talked of religious neutrality," Muti said in the statement quoted by a Daily Independent report.
Muti concluded that Juba's action is a deliberate abuse of the rights of the Muslim children which can lead to chaos.
The Minister of Education, Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Ogun State Commissioner of Police, were among those copied in the letter.
Fasting during the month of Ramadan, from dawn to sunset, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and it is observed by Muslims all around the world.
The 2014 Ramadan fast commenced on Sunday 29th of June and will end on Sunday 27th of July.
