The Commander General of Kano Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa returned to office on Tuesday with a promise to do more towards checking immoral practices and societal vices in the state.
Daurawa, resigned his appointment last week, barely 24 hours after Gov. Kabir-Yusuf expressed shock over alleged human rights violations committed by some members of the Board.
Governor Yusuf, during the meeting with Chief Imams of Jumaat Mosques at Kano Government House, the governor had decried the way and manner the Shariah Police maltreated some young men and women including students of various institutions of learning.
“I saw the video clip, it is disheartening. A man grabbed a young girl and threw her into a Hilux van as if she were a goat.
“They were using sticks and hitting these young persons and chasing them even as they were trying to run away.
“What would it be like if this kind of cruelty led to spinal cord injury in one of them?
“We need not to be too hard on the young ones lest they stray away. We need to treat them with kindness and be gentle on them so that they realize their mistakes and do the right thing, ” he said
But Daurawa returned to the Hisbah office on Tuesday following his meeting with the Governor.
Speaking after his return to the office, Daurawa advised those involved in immoral acts and other vices to repent and present themselves to the board for necessary counseling and rehabilitation.
“We will empower them with entrepreneurship skills and a start up Capital to make them self reliant.
“We will go to all boarding schools in the state to establish Hisbah offices for constant sermons to students on proper conduct ” Ibrahim-Daurawa said
He said that the state government would provide additional operational vehicles to the board to enable it intensify efforts on checking immoral conducts tagged “operation Kau da badala”.
