Hisbah Destroyed 25 Trucks Of Beer, Nabbed 2,260 Suspects In 2022 – Commander

Kano State Hisbah

According to the Kano State Hisbah Board, from January to December 2022, 2,260 suspected offenders were detained while 25 beer trucks were burned.

Dr. Harun Ibn-Sina, the board’s commander-general, revealed this Thursday in Kano while briefing reporters at the board’s offices.

He claimed that the trucks held thousands of bottles of various beers, adding that the board would destroy additional bottles before January.
He said that the majority of people detained for criminal offenses were turned over to security services so they could take the appropriate measures, while children were reunited with their families.

“In the year under review, in order to reduce street begging within the metropolis, about 1,269 beggars were evacuated within one month, and 386 were repatriated to their states. Kano State Hisbah Board has also succeeded in dispersing 86 immoral gatherings and other similar offences to curtail social vices across the state,” he said.

Ibn-Sina said about 822 disputes were resolved amicably, while some were still ongoing in various law courts due to their complex nature.

He added that 15 couples were married at Hisbah, while 22 persons converted to Islam during Da’awah in various parts of the state.

In addition to remodeling the Hisbah headquarters and local government offices, the state government hired 5,700 Hisbah marshalls and 3,100 Hisbah corps members.

The commander-general reported that the Hisbah Mosque has been upgraded to a Juma’at mosque, and that a new shari’a court has also been constructed at the board headquarters with the approval of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.

He cautioned parents to be more watchful and report any suspicious individuals to the appropriate authorities, saying the agency would not give up on efforts to rid the state of all vices.
