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.
The statutory board which has Abbas Nurein Sunkanmi as Secretary also has Dr Ahmad Abubakar Agbaje who represents the Proprietors of Arabic Schools in the state as a member.
