A court case demanding the removal of Arabic inscriptions in the local currency is due to be heard in Nigeria’s commercial city of Lagos filed by a lawyer against the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Malcolm Omirhobo, a lawyer and activist who filed the suit also wants the Nigerian army to remove the inscription from its military logo saying it portrays Nigeria as an Islamic state, contrary to the country’s constitutional status of a secular state.
The lawyer wants the Arabic inscriptions replaced with either English or any of Nigeria’s three main local languages – Hausa, Yoruba, or Igbo.
However, the central bank denied the inscriptions were a symbol or mark of Islam. Many in the country, especially in the north, speak Arabic. English though is the nation’s main language.
