More than 1 year after the Muslim students of Rivers State University of Science & Technology took the school authority to court for demolishing the only mosque on the school campus, the Muslim students have been rewarded with resounding victory at the court which upholds their position that the school authority behaved tyrannically and mistreated the Muslim student population of the school. In what represents the peak of a series of anti-Muslim bigotry, religious repression and denial of religious rights.
The authorities of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST) on January 25, 2012 demolished the improvised – and only – mosque in the school. Some students captured the pulling down of the mosque on their phones and cameras – and that earned two of them police arrest and incarceration!
The students have won the case in the court and in the judgment, which is now available to MPAC, the school authority has been mandated to allocate the land for the Muslim students, among other things. If you need another reason that civic activism and pursuit of right through legal means work, this is a good one. MPAC supported and campaigned for the Muslim students of the RSUST when they suffered the tyranny of the school authority.
