Muslim and Christian faithful on Wednesday in Ilorin thrown caution to the wind as they attacked themselves with objects over hijab controversy.

The clash was said to have occurred at Baptist School, Surulere after students wearing hijab were prevented from entering the school by some protesting Christians.

According to an eyewitness who spoke to The PUNCH, this led to an altercation between the Muslims and Christians, which eventually led to a clash that saw the Muslims and Christians throwing objects at themselves.

WITHIN NIGERIA gathered that it took the intervention of security operatives to restore peace and order in the area.
