Monday, March 3, 2025 - Operatives of the Kano State Hisbah Board have arrested some young men accused of not observing the Ramadan fast on the first day of the holy month.
The Deputy
Commander General of the Board, Dr. Mujahideen Abubakar, confirmed the arrests
to journalists in the state.
He stated
that the suspects were apprehended during routine patrols conducted by Hisbah
officers in different parts of Kano metropolis.
Additionally,
the board arrested around 60 individuals for wearing “indecent haircuts,” which
violate Islamic law and local cultural norms.
Furthermore,
Hisbah officials apprehended some commercial tricycle (keke napep) drivers for
allegedly mixing male and female passengers in their vehicles, an act the board
insisted it would not tolerate.
The Board vowed to continue its patrols to ensure strict adherence to Sharia law throughout the month of Ramadan.
