The Court of Appeal in Ibadan, Oyo State, has overturned a previous High Court ruling that permitted female Muslim students to wear hijabs at the University of Ibadan International School. In a split decision of two to one, judges Biobele Georgewill and K.I. Amadi ruled that the UI International School is a private institution, impacting the hijab policy for its students.

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.
