The limitation on the use of Hijab in the North Eastern part of Nigeria as a threat to national security has become a limitation on human rights in the region. This studyexamined the perception of hijab as a human right and its threat to national security in Borno State, Nigeria. It examined the extent to which the use of Hijab as a human right affects national security in Nigeria and ascertain what propels the use of Hijab as an instrument of suicide bombing. The researcher employed both the quantitative and qualitative research method by collating materials from both primary and secondary sources of data. Findings from the study revealed that Hijab from time immemorial has been the mode of dressing for Muslim women in Borno state even before the advent of the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria. The study found that the limitation on the use of hijab as a threat to national security is basically because of economic force, religious force and effective enforcement of laws. The study recommended that there should be proper religious orientation for women on the concept of Hijab, so that they are not indoctrinated into suicide bombing. The study also recommended that the government should focus more on addressing the root causes of the Boko Haram insurgency, rather than banning or even castigating Hijabites, which is one out of hundreds means of carrying out suicide bombing in Borno State.
