DAILY TRUST
The Kano State Hisbah Board has banned all forms of sports betting in the state.
The Deputy Commander-General of the board, Dr Mujaheed Aminuddeen, made this known when he briefed journalists on the Hisbah’s renewed effort to fight immorality.
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 said in its efforts to restore sanity and discipline in the state, 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.
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.
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.
