Kano Hisbah Dismisses Commandant For Compromising Fight Against Immorality

Kano State – The Kano State Hisbah Board has dismissed one of its commandants due to allegations of compromising and undermining the efforts to combat immorality and social vices within the state.

The Commandant General of Hisbah, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, disclosed this during a press briefing on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.

He said that the dismissed commandant had compromised the organization’s core objectives and was involved in actions that sabotaged the fight against immorality in Kano State.

He explained that the dismissed personnel usually connived with “bad elements to perpetrate unholy acts in the state”

Daurawa said upon assumption of office, he hit the ground running by sanitising the board of bad eggs as the board is no longer the same as it used to be.

“We have dismissed a Deputy Superintendent of Hisbah (DSH) and declared him wanted. Wherever he is found he should be arrested and prosecuted,” said the commandant-general.

“He usually connived with the hotel operators so that their hotels would not be raided by Hisbah in the course of its operations

Meanwhile, the board has dismissed speculation by a Facebook user alleging that its personnel cut the hair of a non-indigene with a bottle after it raided a brothel in the state.

Daurawa described the allegation as the handiwork of mischief makers, saying Hisbah had identified the culprit that posted the video and that the suspect would be invited to prove his claim.
