Kano State Shariah Police popularly known as Hisbah Board, in its effort to get rid of bad elements within, has dismissed an officer for compromising and sabotaging the effort of the board in fight against immorality and social vices in the State.
This is just as the board also placed five other officers, under investigation in its determination to guide against unbecoming attitudes.
Making this known on Tuesday while speaking with the press, the Commander General of Hisbah, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, disclosed that the personnel connived with bad elements to perpetrate unholy acts in the state.
He hinted that upon assumption of office, he has hit the ground running by sanitizing the board of bad eggs as the board is no longer the same as it used to be.
“We have dismissed a Deputy Superintendent of Hisbah, DSH and declared him wanted adding that whenever he was found he should be arrested.
He connived with the hotel operators so that their hotels would not be raided by Hisbah in the course of its operations.
“So when we carried out the raid operation, the hoteliers where such atrocities were carried out became jittery that Hisbah has changed.
“They pay him money not to carry out operations on their hotel. There was one among the hotel operators who asked us what we wanted them to do for us to support us.
“And we told him the government saddled us with the responsibility and so it is responsible for our operations.
“So he was asking why will he give Hisbah money and they suddenly turn their back on him and carry out a raid operation on his hotel?
“We have Five other officers also under investigation.
“We don’t just carry out the raid, but we ensure people of community file their complaints and signed by at least five persons.
“We also carry out surveillance by sending officers to carry out surveillance to ascertain the truth of the information available, then we notify the Divisional Police Officer, DPO of the area to get back and liaise with the court,” Sheikh Daurawa stated.
Meanwhile, the Board has refuted an allegation by a Facebook user alleging that its personnel barbed the hair of a non-indigene with a bottle after it raided a brothel in the state.
Sheikh Daurawa described the allegation as handiwork of mischief makers saying the Hisbah has now traced and identified the person who posted the said video, adding that the board would invite him to prove the video.
According to him, “The video is totally a lie. No such incident happened. We try to follow due process in carrying out our operations”.
He however disclosed that “Our personnel never cut hair of any non-indigene lady, let alone use bottle to do so. It is a lie and we have identified the person who shared the video and will invite him to prove it to us. If he fails to prove to us, we will take action against him”.
The Commander General however admitted some mistakes by the Hisbah personnel in carrying out the operations, adding that the board had already stepped up to correct those mistakes.
He further disclosed that the board had recently launched operations against social vices, tagged; ‘Operation Kau da Badala‘, which literally means operation against immorality in the state.
It be recalled that during the operations, the Islamic Shari’a Police had raided some hotels, brothels and off-campus and arrested some suspects within the city, an operation that sparked outrage in the state and beyond.
