Sheikh Daurawa resigns as Kano Hisbah, commander general

The Commander General of the Kano Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, has resigned from his appointment after Governor Abba Yusuf  criticised the mode of operations by the outfit.

Daurawa announced  his resignation in a short clip posted on his official Facebook page on Friday.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had on Thursday berated Hisbah, the state sharia police over its mode of invading public places in its fight  against acts of immorality in the state.

While addressing  Imams at the Government House on Thursday, Yusuf said  Hisbah must review its methods of arrests.

But in his reaction  reaction, Daurawa,  said Hisbah  under his stewardship, had done its best and what was right under the tenets of Islam to fight immorality in the state.

According to Daurawa: “Currently, I’m in Kaduna State, meeting with lawmakers led by the Speaker to discuss implementing a mandatory pre-marital health check in Kano, similar to other Nigerian states.

“However, I’ve encountered discouraging comments from Kano, despite my efforts at Hisbah to promote societal morality.

“I’ve actively engaged with Kannywood and TikTok celebrities, offering guidance and even providing financial assistance to some TikTokers. I even extended advice to Murja too.

“Unfortunately, those who disregarded our guidance faced consequences.

“But I am saying sorry to the Excellency Governor for being angry, I am sorry to say I have resigned from the position he gave me in Hisbah, I wish him best in his leadership.”

Yusuf had lamented how Hisbah’s ‘operation kau da badala’ was being carried out in the state.

Operation ‘Kau da Badala’ is Hisbah’s initiative aimed at fighting immorality and enforcing sanity in accordance with Islamic values.
