The Kano State Shariah Board has dismissed an officer for compromising and sabotaging the effort of the board in fight against immorality.
Similarly, the board said five other officers were also under probe.
The Commander General of Hisbah, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa made the disclosure to newsmen.
He said the personnel connived with bad elements to perpetrate unholy acts in the state.
Daurawa said 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.
According to him, “we have dismissed a Deputy Superintendent of Hisbah, DSH and declared him wanted. Wherever he was found he should be arrested.
“He connived with the hotel operators so that their hotels will not be raided by Hisbah in the course of it operations. So when we carried out the raid operation, the hoteliers where such atrocities were carried out became glittery that Hisbah has changed.
“They paid him money not to carry out operation on their hotel. There was one among the hotel operators who asked us what do we want them to do for us to support them. And we told him the government saddled us with the responsibility and so it is responsible for our operations. So he was asking that why will he give Hisbah money and they suddenly turn their back on him and carry out raid operation on his hotel?
“We have five other officers also under investigation.
“We don’t just carry out raid, but we ensure people of community file their complain and signed by at least 5 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 a backing and liaise with the court,” Sheikh Daurawa stated.
