Sheikh Abdulhadi Aliyu Daura, the Commandant General of Kaduna State's HISBAH Committee and Chief Imam of Danfodiyo Jumu'at Mosque, praised Governor Uba Sani for the prevailing peace in the state.

According to the Director-General of Media and Communications at Kaduna South Divisional Command, Sharifudeen Ibrahim Muhammad, the Commandant General expressed his praise in a press statement in Kaduna, as reported by Daily Trust.

He had previously stated that residents of the state could hardly sleep with both eyes closed, adding that many areas, such as Birnin Gwari, parts of Igabi, Giwa, Chikun, Kajuru, and other parts of Southern Kaduna, were inaccessible.

This situation affected the lives and well-being of the people, as they could no longer go to their farms or markets. Some schools had to be shut down, and this also impacted the economic growth of the state.

The cleric also called on the governor to strengthen HISBAH's role in the state's security framework, while strongly denouncing the recent killing of a naval officer in Kawo area of the state.

CG Aliyu Daura said that empowering HISBAH in Kaduna State would significantly contribute to curbing social issues such as youth restiveness, drug abuse, and others.

Kano HISBAH warns non-Muslim against open eating

Legit.ng previously reported that the Kano State Hisbah Board has urged non-Muslim residents who are not fasting during this period to refrain from openly eating or engaging in activities that may disrespect the Islamic faith or tempt those who are fasting.

Abba Sai’Idu, the Director-General of the Board, mentioned that the enforcement team is conducting more frequent patrols in the city to apprehend any Muslims participating in activities contrary to Islamic customs during the Holy month.

Food sellers in Kano State are closed during daylight hours due to fasting, with most of their usual customers abstaining from eating. However, areas with a Christian majority, such as Sabon Gari, Bompai, and Jaba, still have active food vendors.

Hisbah wages war against secret lovers

Legit.ng also reported that the Kano State Hisbah Board has announced a new initiative aimed at curbing what it describes as the "menace" of unmarried couples meeting or engaging in private conversations inside vehicles.

The move is part of the board's broader effort to enforce Islamic moral codes and prevent what it considers "unwanted implications" of such interactions.

He stated that their operatives would intensify patrols to identify and penalise individuals found engaging in acts deemed contrary to the state's religious and cultural values.
