Human rights advocate and lawyer, Malcom Omirhobo, has dragged the Federal Government to the Federal High Court, Abuja, asking the court to declare Nigeria’s membership of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation as illegal.
The lawyer also prayed the court to terminate Nigeria’s membership of the OIC, delist her from being a member and restrain the government from using public funds to fund her membership of the organisation. Omirhobo prayed the court to declare that the Federal Government, the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory shall not adopt any religion as state religion.
“A declaration that Nigeria’s membership of the OIC, which is being funded, sustained, managed and ran with public funds and/or the commonwealth of Nigerians by the 1st defendant is the adoption of Islam as the official religion of Nigeria and therefore improper, illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional.
