- This was the second incident of this nature at the hotel
The Katsina State Hisbah Board has closed the New Palace Hotel due to allegations of activities detrimental to the morals of underage girls.
According to a statement by Commander General Dr. Aminu Usman, the board’s operation team visited the hotel and found two underage girls in the same room, violating the board’s regulations.
Usman noted that this was the second incident of this nature at the hotel.
“It was during the first time you promised not to repeat it again and requested the board for tempering justice with mercy as it was the first violation of the board’s conditions by your hotel’s management.
“You may further wish to recall that during our joint interactive meeting with all the hotel managers in the board’s conference hall with which you were one of the attendees, it was agreed that all hotel managers will not attend minors/underage in the hotel premises and whoever found not in compliance with the agreed conditions of the board will be dealt with accordingly.”
“In view of the above, having observed the management of the hotel are not ready to comply with the boards condition’s; the board is left with no other option but to close your hotel indefinitely,” the statement read.
