- The actions of the board have been vehemently criticized in some quarters as archaic and detrimental to the socio-economic growth of the state
The bank accounts of Kano State Hisbah Board have been frozen by court over raids on hotels in the north west state.
The development is consequent upon a legal action preferred against the board by hotel owners in the state.
The Commandant General of the board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurwa, confirmed the freezing of all the Board’s bank accounts.
Hisbah operatives had embarked on raids of Hotels, Recreational Spots and other entertainment places in Kano with the intent to cleanse the state from social Vices and indecent acts.
The actions of the board have been vehemently criticized in some quarters as archaic and detrimental to the socio-economic growth of the state.
Daurawa said, “Yes, it is true that all of our bank accounts have been frozen. I have sent a representative to meet with the Attorney-General because we were not told about the alleged offence and the basis for the account closures
