The LPDC provided Omirhobo with a 24-day warning in a letter dated October 7, 2022.

 

 

On June 27, 2022, in response to the Apex Court’s decision on the wearing of hijab by Muslim women, Omirhobo appeared in court dressed in his traditional doctor attire over his wig.
However, in a letter dated October 7, 2022, and signed by the Secretary of LPDC, Mr Daniel Tela, asked Omirhobo to respond to a petition filed against him by MURIC over the way he dressed to the Supreme Court.

Omirhobo was directed to submit affidavits disclosing his defence to the Originating Application filed by MURIC in Suit No. BB/LPDC/896/2022.

In a judgment delivered on June 17, 2022, the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of a Court of Appeal Lagos, which removed the ban on the use of hijab in public schools in Lagos State.

The apex court in a split judgment of five-to-two, held that the appellate court was right in its verdict nullifying and setting aside the judgment of a Lagos High Court that banned female Muslim students from wearing the hijab (head covering veil) with their school uniforms.

It subsequently dismissed the appeal brought by Lagos State for lacking in merit.

On Thursday, June 23, 2022, Omirhobo in protest of the judgment was seen on the premises of the Supreme Court wearing his native doctor attire on his wig and gown. He also wore the same dress to the Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday, June 27.

The human right lawyer, who appeared before Justice Tijiani Ringim, barefooted with cowries tied on his two legs, and his wig had two long feathers, with cowries in his two hands and tied a red wrapper, while he wore his lawyer’s gown over it, was greeted with resistance by some lawyers who disagreed with his appearance before the court in such dressing; arguing that he could not be heard as he was not properly dressed as a lawyer before the court.

When his case was called, he announced his appearance as the applicant and some lawyers, Abdullah Dania, Mohammed Adamu and one Festus Afeyodion, told the court that he should not be heard as he was not properly robbed.

Dania said, “I am a lawyer, my Lord can imagine the way my learned friend appears before the court as a professional. The rules that govern us as a lawyer do not allow improper dressing.”

Adamu told the court that he would like to furnish the court with his written submission in line with the direction of the court.
