As Muslim faithfuls enter the holy month of Ramadan, the Kano State Hisbah Board has deployed personnel to mosques to ensure the safety of lives and properties from criminal elements.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of the Board, Ibrahim Lawan on Thursday, March 23, 2023, in Kano, NAN reported.
“Hisbah corps will visit mosques during Iftar, Tarawih, Tahajjud prayers to protect worshippers and their property from unpatriotic elements,” the Commander-General of the board, Dr Harun Ibn-Sina said.
“Those who engage in societal vices during this sacred month will be dealt with. Some of the youths who eat in the public during fasting period will not be spared either,” he said.
