Download Why is the hijab causing tension in Nigeria?
Should hijabs be allowed in mission schools?
Tensions are running high in Kwara state, Nigeria.
Churches, schools, and shops have been attacked. Scuffles have been reported.
It all started when ten mission schools refused entry to Muslim girls wearing their hijabs.
Christians in the community say the veils go against the foundations of these schools.
Muslims families argue their rights, as Nigerian citizens, have been trampled on.
But how deep do these tensions run? And what can Nigeria do about them?
