- Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa resigns as Commander General of Kano’s Hisbah Board due to “discouragement” from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf
- Daurawa expresses disappointment with governor’s comments despite efforts to uphold societal morality during his tenure at Hisbah
Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa has resigned as the Commander General of Kano’s Hisbah Board, citing “discouragement” from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano as his decision.
Daurawa expressed his disappointment with the governor’s comments despite his efforts to uphold societal morality during his tenure at Hisbah.
In a video posted on his social media account, Daurawa explained, “I am currently in Kaduna State, meeting with lawmakers led by the Speaker to discuss implementing mandatory pre-marital health checks in Kano, similar to other Nigerian states. However, I have encountered discouraging comments from Kano, despite my efforts at Hisbah to promote societal morality.
“I have actively engaged with Kannywood and TikTok celebrities, offering guidance and financial assistance to some TikTokers. I even advised Murja too—unfortunately, those who disregarded our guidance faced consequences.
“But I want to apologize to His Excellency the Governor for my anger. I regret to say that I have resigned from the position he appointed me to in Hisbah. I wish him the best in his leadership.”
Governor Yusuf had expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which Hisbah’s ‘Operation Kau da Badala’ was being conducted across the state. Operation ‘Kau da Badala’ is Hisbah’s initiative aimed at combating immorality and enforcing sanity under Islamic values.
During a meeting with Imams at the Kano Government House, the governor criticized the board’s modus operandi and highlighted instances where individuals were mistreated during enforcement operations.
He emphasized the importance of upholding Islamic values while ensuring that the rights of individuals are respected, urging agencies like Hisbah to adhere to proper procedures in carrying out their duties.
