Nigerians on the internet have teased Khadija Yusra, daughter of Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, after a photo of her having a handshake with vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, emerged without her wearing a hijab.
They called out Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), which is always quick to defend rights of Muslims in the country to dress according to Islamic dictates.
In the photograph, the Emir appears to introduce his daughter to Osinbajo, who was on a visit to Kano on Monday.
