Hisbah board locks up Haruna
Legit.ng had earlier reported that the Kano state Hisbah board locked up Haruna, a Kannywood actress, for allegedly uploading sexual content on her social media handles.
The accused person was initially arrested on Friday, August 20 by the surveillance department of Hisbah.
She was then detained in the custody of the Islamic police until early Monday, August 23 when she was brought before the Sharia court sitting in Sharada area of Kano state.
In a related development, Hibah criticised the bridal shower gown worn by Zahra Bayero, the wife of Yusuf Buhari, son of the Nigerian president.
Public affairs commentator weighs in on Hisbah's excesses
A public affairs analyst, Onikepo Braithwaite, accused Hisbah of not taking the non-Muslims in Kano and their fundamental rights into consideration nor the constitutional provisions, in issuing some of its directives.
She stated that northern Nigerian states that are implementing Sharia law have endorsed Islam, and favoured the faith over and above all others.
