The Deputy Commander-General of the Kano State Hisbah Board, Dr Mujaheed Aminuddeen, has banned sports betting in Kano State.
Aminuddeen stated this yesterday when he spoke to journalists on the Hisbah’s renewed efforts to root out immorality in the state.
He said the 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 warned that the Hisbah would arrest any landlord who rented 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, stressing the efforts of the Islamic Police to restore sanity and discipline in the state.
He stated 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.
Aminuddeen added that while street begging is prohibited by the law, female beggars who stayed outdoors late into the night would also be arrested.
He also announced that the Hisbah is disturbed by the increasing rate of prostitution among young girls and therefore warned that any woman seen in a tricycle after 10pm would also be apprehended.
He said violating any of the rules would attract stiff penalty.
He called on parents to be vigilant on their children, especially the females, and stop them from any misconduct capable of breaking any of the rules as stipulated across the state.
