The board's Commander, Usman Jatau, disclosed this while addressing
journalists at the Hisbah office in Sokoto on Wednesday, December 11, 2024.
Jatau stated that no one had come forward to claim the confiscated
drinks and that the Hisbah Board would consult the State Commissioner for
Justice and Attorney General to determine the next course of action.
Outlining the rules and regulations guiding residents’ conduct in the state, the commander emphasised that these were not designed to target anyone or cause chaos but to serve as guiding principles for daily activities.
“Let me appeal to the people to fear Allah (SWT) in all our dealings and
avoid all prohibited activities, such as mingling between males and females.
Dress codes and social interactions must align with Islamic law,” he
said.
"Taking advantage of any place or hideout for immoral acts is
prohibited. Assaulting or cheating fellow Muslims, directly or indirectly, must
also be shunned
“All
ceremonies, celebrations, and anniversaries must be conducted in accordance
with Sharia teachings. Selling or distributing illicit substances or drugs at
public gatherings or events is strictly forbidden."
