Why We Arrest Commoners But Leave The Rich, Powerful Who Break Our Rules —Kano Islamic Police

According to Kibiya, it is against the tenets of Islam to publicly criticise a leader.

The Kano Hisbah Board, also known as the Islamic police has explained why it treats the rich and the poor differently while enforcing some of its rules. 

A director of the Islamic police, Aliyu Kibiya gave the explanation when he featured on a Freedom Radio programme. 

According to Kibiya, it is against the tenets of Islam to publicly criticise a leader.

He said, “Although we call on everybody in the society to do the right thing, we make the call on a case by case basis.

“It is against the tenets of Islam to mount the podium and call out leaders. There are ways to caution a leader without criticising him in public."

Hisbah had recently come under intense pressure to act on some pictures of the daughter of the Emir of Bichi who recently got married to President Muhammadu Buhari’s only son.

A video of the wedding party shows Nigerian singer, Mayorkun singing and some of the party attendees spotting Afro, Mohawk, or any of the hairstyles Kano State Hisbah has labelled as “unIslamic” and an insult to Islam.

Also, secular songs Hisbah has vehemently frowned upon were played at the party, with young northern men and women dancing to them.

All these have attracted punishments from Kano Hisbah, in cases where poor Nigerians were involved.

Noting the hypocrisy exhibited by the Islamic police, which were nowhere to be found during the wedding, human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore had said, “Yusuf Buhari’s wedding and the Kano Hisbah that shaves the head of poor people but was nowhere to be found around the highly secular Muhammadu Buhari son’s wedding: One country, two laws -One is applicable to the poor and the other is applicable to rich and highly connected. Who says poverty is not a CRIME? #RevolutionNow #BuhariMustGo.”

Ironically, Hisbah has been notorious for shaving the heads of poor northerners with Afro, Mohawk, and other hairstyles termed as “unIslamic” by the bias Islamic police.

Similarly, in February, a barber from Benue State, Elijah Ode, was arrested by Kano Hisbah in the Sabongari area of the state for giving his customers haircuts said to have offended the Islamic faith.

Two of Ode’s customers were also tortured for having such “offensive” haircuts.

The religious police force reportedly arraigned Ode and had him remanded.

Recently, after it was knocked by the public for being silent on the photographs of the bridal shower of Buhari’s daughter-in-law, Hisbah responded by prohibiting the sharing of the bridal shower photographs.

SaharaReporters had reported that some Nigerians highlighted Zahra's gown, part of which is made from a transparent material, while others pointed out that she did not have her hair covered as is usually done by Muslim women.

The Islamic police described sharing the photos online by Muslims as a sin.

Meanwhile, the Islamic police have since banned stylish haircuts, sagging of trousers, and playing of music at social events by disk jockeys.

Hisbah also banned commercial motorcycles and tricycle riders from carrying two women at a time.

Of recent, the Kano State Hisbah Board banned the use of mannequins to display clothes by tailors, supermarkets, and boutique owners in the state.

Hisbah Commander-in-Chief, Ustaz Harun Muhammad Sani Ibn Sina, had said the use of mannequins by tailors, boutique owners, and others contravenes the provision of Islamic injunctions.

He added that the agency would educate offenders on how Islam frowns on the use of mannequins and send its officials to apprehend and prosecute them.

Bloody Hypocrites..........Hypocritical religion cult.......Hypocritical Govt!





A.nother

P.athetic

C.omment

So all d wealthy people are now leaders to u?naija una dun see am.cover ur face if u no get money

Why would there be a hisbah police when we already have the Nigerian police..

And this guys go into federal institutions to apprehend non Muslims.. breach the right of non Muslims.. funny thing is they operate under the existence of a Federal law.. so how does the rule or supremacy of law come in play

Nigeria is a joke

If that is the case.. Christians, atheists, sango worshippers, amadioha worshippers and the rest should set up their own police arm

Confused people

You do so because your ridiculous laws are only for the poor. Hypocrites!

No wonder senior Muslims were dancing soapy when Naira Marley was singing at Yusuf's wedding.
No wonder the owners of Islam in Saudi invited Nicki Minaj to come shake ass for the Mullahs in Mecca.
Islam and hypocrisy is like Buhari and expressing shock.

Is there supposed to be an excuse and exemption?

Hypocrites

While reading this article, just interchange Hisbah to Taliban and then u know that Nigeria is not faraway from being like Afghanistan, if not for the resistant people in the south especially the igbos

And this makes sense even to him.

Hypocrisy in islam hisbah stinks to high heavens, so in essence what they are saying is that Nigeria is an animal farm and just like animal farm some animals are more higher than others.

Only someone whose conscience has been seared with a hot iron can make such comment.

Even as a Muslim, I see it as hypocrisy and I detest HYPOCRITES with passion.

In true Islam, there are no bias or segregation. That's why there are no special seats or rolls in the mosques...
We shouldn't try to twist the book like some people for selfish reasons...

We are supposed to respect our leaders but leaders like the old fools we have in government today should be heavily criticized and stoned sef.

That's why shariah societies are poor and backward

I was expecting to see a defence but found non.

Leaders in Islamic societies are above the law. It is a sin for the poor in such a society to say to the leaders 'This thing you did/are doing is not good'. That is why they dare not accuse buhari of any wrong. The rich are zombies. No one tells them what to do. The poor, I don't have words to describe them.

Bloody hypocrites

Rubbish

MAD idiots.

Person dey even shame to tell person say I be Muslim.

Useless goats.

I will not leave Islam because of the numerous idiots in the Religion. They are not my business, my business is the Quran.

And Jesus said "It is finished."

hahahaha




Islam, a deadly bloody ancient cult founded by a murderous Pedophile to keep the poor more wretched and stupid, by using barbaric doctrines that make poor Muslim worshippers terrorists and lovers of violence, in order to protect the rich Muslims.


This is clear reason why Southern Nigeria must separate from backward Northern Nigeria that will soon turn to Afghanistan and Yemen combined.

Ah! Yes, we don't criticize leaders! But who are the leaders?

Jesus does not interfer in the politics of his time despite the ills!

But why are Christians pained by what doesn't concern them?

This doesn't even make sense.

I hate hearing or reading about '"hisbah"

They are useless like the "p" in "psychology"

Hypo crites

Homosexuals
