Religious crisis looms in Osun school

Tension, yesterday, enveloped a popular school in Osun State, the Baptist High School, Iwo, as the students wore different dresses that suited their religious inclination to school.

The students, thereby, defiled the state government uniform
specification recently introduced in all public secondary
schools in the state as part of the schools reclassification
programme.

Apart from the riotous outfits, the students also sang different
religious songs while on the assembly for the morning
devotion.

While the Christian students who wore white garments sang
Christian songs, the Muslim students who appeared in veil
sang Muslim songs.

Worried by the development, the school authority hurriedly
sent the students to their various classrooms and informed the
state Ministry of Education of the development.

Reacting, the state Commissioner for Information and
Strategy, Mr Sunday Akere said government was aware of the
development and was making efforts to bring sanity back to
the system.

He said officials of the state Ministry of Education have been
drafted to the school to prevent further breakdown of law and
order.
