Kwara flogging: Abdulrazaq appoints members for Arabic education board

The development is coming barely a month after some students of the Misbaudeen Al-Islamiy Arabic School, Ganmon, were publicly flogged for attending a birthday party.

The issue had generated widespread outcry within and outside the country as Muslim scholars debated the place of corporal punishment in Islam.
Consequently, the state government set up a 10-member committee to probe the situation.

The new board is headed by Prof Mashood Mahmud of Kwara State University, Malete who holds a doctoral degree in Arabic Education.
