Fundamental rights stand above ordinary laws of the land or any kind of policy, just like that of the Nigerian Law School. The Law School always insists that the wig be kept directly on the head. Asking for her rights by insisting that what the Law School was asking of her was wrong cannot amount to rebellion. But what happened to Amasa has been an age-long tradition of the institution…The Nigerian Law School admits many Muslim female students annually. We would want all institutions, including the Nigerian Law School, to respect the fundamental rights of all citizens, including those of Firdaus Amasa.
