The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested at least 52 commercial tricycle operators popularly known as Yan Adaidaita Sahu on grounds of immoral haircuts, mixing with females in their vehicles, among others.
Recall that Hisbah Command recently launched an exercise tagged “Operation Kau da Badala,” (Operation Fight against Immorality).
It borders on sanitising Kano State from act of prostitution, drug abuse, and the sale and consumption of alcohol, among others.
The tricycle riders were picked up in different parts of the Kano metropolis, according to the Deputy Commander-General of Hisbah, Sheikh Mujahid Aminuddeen.
The latter said this while addressing the so-called offenders on Friday, “We want to use this opportunity to appeal to you to avoid such acts and avoid acts capable of tarnishing the image of our religion and culture of the Kano people.
“As Muslims, we will not accept this behaviour and activities of the tricycle riders. That is why we brought you here to admonish you on the negative implications of these acts on our religion and culture as people of Kano.”
