Students created scenes in two schools in Osun state as they appeared in church garments.

Aside Baptist High School, Iwo, students in other schools across the state dressed in their regular school uniforms.
Olagoke, a catechist and head of Catholic bloc in the Iwo unit of CAN, said if Muslims were allowed to wear hijab to propagate Islam in schools founded by Christian missionaries, it would also be appropriate for Christian pupils to wear religious garments to schools.
He also advised those aggrieved with the court judgement to channel their grievances according to the rule of law.
Teachers were on duty teaching the students as usual without distraction.
Ajibola asked the court to compel Aregbesola to provide the list of all capital projects being executed by his government since November 26, 2015.
