Before Amasa Firdaus Abdulsalam was denied call to the bar at the International Conference Centre on 12th of December 2017, for using hijab, there has been no one ever called to bar in hijab in Nigeria. Firdaus believes her refusal was a violation of her right to freedom of religion as protected by Section 38 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria and the case sparked an intense debate on social media, with the hashtag #JusticeforFirdaus being used.^[1]^[2]

Seven months after, the embattled University of Ilorin law graduate was called to bar in her hijab on Tuesday 10th of July 2018, after her initial denial.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
