MSSN seeks probe of alleged attack on Kwara school imam

The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria in Kwara State yesterday called for a thorough investigation of an alleged attack on the Imam of Bishop Smith Secondary School by some Christians in the school.

It asked the government to prevail on the managements of all public schools in the state to allow students of different religious beliefs to observe morning assembly prayers according to the dictates of their religions.

The MSSN alleged that the Imam was molested by some staff when he attempted to pray in the Islamic way immediately after the Christian prayers were said at the school’s assembly ground last Friday.

The chairman of the MSSN in the state, Nurudeen Ibrahim, in a statement, said: “We urgently call on relevant stakeholders to quickly ensure a thorough investigation and all the culprits involved in this dastardly act must be brought to book and to put in place measures to prevent repeat of this situation especially across all educational institutions in Kwara state. “
