Kano Hisbah Commander General, Aminu Daurawa, has declared a two-week window for individuals engaged in what he terms “immoral activities” to either repent or leave the state.
Daurawa, in an interview with BBC Hausa, disclosed that following a meeting with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, the recent disagreement between them has been resolved. This development comes after Daurawa abruptly left his position following criticism from the governor regarding the operational methods of Hisbah, the Islamic police force.
After intermediaries mediated the dispute, Daurawa reconciled with the governor. In his BBC interview, he expressed a renewed commitment to Hisbah’s mission of upholding morality in Kano. He highlighted the governor’s pledge of ongoing support and resources to strengthen Hisbah’s operations.
Daurawa emphasized that the recent disagreement had only strengthened their resolve to combat immorality in the state. He warned individuals promoting such activities to repent or leave Kano within the stipulated two-week grace period. For those willing to repent, Hisbah has prepared forms called ‘Na tuba’ for them to fill out, along with provisions for capital and business training.
In addition to the moral campaign, Daurawa announced plans to enhance Hisbah’s operations. This includes establishing a dedicated training school offering diplomas, NCE qualifications, and degrees in Hisbah activities. Furthermore, new departments such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and a Legal department will be set up to ensure compliance with the law and improve efficiency.
