A woman was prevented from sitting for her exam at the National Open University (NOUN) in Garki, Abuja, because her dressing was "improper". The student said she arrived at the examination centre in the morning and was getting ready for her 2p.m. paper when she was denied entrance into the exam hall. A video captured a security guard holding her back from entering the hall. The student then showed herself to the camera and asked viewers to tell her if she was indecently dressed. She was wearing a white tank top, blue denim jacket, and black jeans. No part of her body was exposed. Watch the video below. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1KVNUUNZ6F/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Share this Story Kindly leave your comment, like and share this story: FOR...
