Hisbah bans sports betting, prohibits women from staying out late
Story by Aliyu ASKIRA, Kano
The Kano State Hisbah Board has banned all forms of sports betting in the state including prostitution and gambling.
The Deputy Commander-General of the board, Dr Mujaheed Aminuddeen, made this known when he briefed journalists on Hisbah’s renewed effort to fight immorality.
He said Hisbah has re-launched ‘operation flush out immorality’ and its operatives would soon clampdown on individuals and groups bent on violating social order in the state.
He said in its efforts to restore sanity and discipline in the state, Hisbah would arrest any landlord who rents out an apartment to unknown person(s) in view of the increasing cases of residential houses being used as lodges and motels in the city.

He added that the board had further issued new rules regarding courtship, as henceforth, no prospective couples would be allowed to sit in tinted vehicles during courtship, particularly in the night.
He pointed out that while street begging is prohibited by the law, female beggars who stayed outdoors late into the night would also be arrested.
Dr Mujaheed also announced that the board is disturbed by the increasing rate of prostitution among young girls and therefore warned that any woman seen in a tricycle after 10:pm would be apprehended.
He warned the public against violating any of the stipulated rules, which he said would attract stiff penalty.
He called on parents to be vigilant on their children, especially females, and stop them from any misconduct capable of breaking any of the rules as stipulated across the state.
