The emergence of a splinter group in the Obafemi Awolowo University
(OAU)’s chapter of the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN), is
another crisis currently rocking the Nigerian University.
According to a report by TheCable News,
the Islamic splinter group been accused of harbouring girls and
carrying out irregular activities in mosques located in Fajuyi and
Awolowo halls.
In a statement G. O. Akinola, a doctor and acting dean of the school,
alleged that a faction of the MSSN had seceded from the main body of
Muslim organisation in the school and this faction was going against
Islamic religious doctrines and school laws.
The management of OAU got wind of this and has taken steps to shut down
the mosques in two of the halls of residence on Friday and circulars
were pasted in all the halls of residence for proper dissemination of
the seal off.
