The Muslim Public Affairs Centre (MPAC) has criticized the Court of Appeal in Ibadan for overturning a previous ruling that affirmed the right of female Muslim students to wear hijab. This decision, made by a three-member panel, was announced on Friday and nullifies the earlier judgement from May 22, 2024, which had supported the students' religious rights.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), an Islamic human rights organization, criticized the appellate court's recent ruling on hijab, labeling it a "travesty of justice" and a "forced abortion in the temple of justice." This statement was released by the group's executive director on July 4, 2026, following the court's decision made on July 1.

The judges highlighted that the appellants had developed the land, including building 196 housing units, while the schools had been on the disputed land for over thirty years without any objections.
