VIDEO: Nigerian Lady Sent Home From Work In US For Wearing Hijab

A restaurant in Texas in the United States has apologized after a Nigerian employee was asked to leave because she was wearing a hijab.

The lady identified as Folake Adebola took to her twitter handle to reveal that she felt very disrespected after her manager and her co-workers at the Chicken Express restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas instructed her to remove her hijab.

Detailing her reason for wearing the hijab, the 22-year-old lady revealed that she converted into Islam in August last year and was hired by the Restaurant in October and even informed her co-workers that she would start wearing hijab soon.

To the shock of her life, she was not welcomed by her co-workers when she wore a hijab on Monday.

Read her full post below:

“I converted to Islam not too long ago and I started wearing my hijab, I went to work today and was kicked out because my hijab was not apart the “ dress code” apparently and I wasn’t allowed to wear it. Don’t come to the chicken express in Fort Worth!!”

“Lemme say this I converted in AUGUST I didn’t start working there till OCTOBER in the hand book they say they have “equal opportunity for every religion “ so yes I FELT comfortable working there. I told my manager that I am Muslim and that I was waiting on my hijabs to come in”

“And everything was cool until it was brought up again between him and another employee.”
