IBNET

 The sad news came to us at aibnetwork early this morning about the death of Tal-hatu Kolapo HAMZAT, the first African Professor of Neurophysiotherpy. The Ibadan-born don who contested the last vice-chancellorship at the University of Ibadan, passed on during a brief illness. As announced by Dr Abdu-Salam, the Chairman of the University College Hospital, UCH Ibadan Muslim Community. "Inna lilahi, wa ina  ilahei raajiuna." "The UCH Muslim Community announces the death of one of our leading lights, Professor Talhatu Kolapo Hamzat who answered the call of Allah early this morning. Until his death, he was a Professor of Neurophysiotherpy and former Head of Department of Physiotherapy, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan. Former University Orator and Member of the Oyo State Advisory Council." He announced that the Muslim burial prayers (Jannaza) will take place at the UCH Mosque after the late afternoon (Asr) prayers (4pm). His body will thereafter leave for the UN

The absence of Justice Moshood Ishola of Oyo State High Court in Ibadan has again stalled the resumption of the adjourned hearing of the hijab case involving Muslim Right Concern (MURIC), some female Muslim students and UI-ISI management was stalled due to absence of judge who was supposed to decide on the matter. We were surprised when we were told that the case could not come up because justice Ishola will be attending to a State assignment today and therefore, the court will not be sitting today, 10th January,2023. It could be recalled that on November 22, 2022, the case was stalled due to the absent of the judge. The hijab controversy between MURIC, the students, parents and the school management started in November 2018, which lead to the closure of the school in the same month. It is fundamental human rights of these Muslim students to use hijab The Registrar of the court however promised to communicate the next adjourned date through our lawyer once it is given.
