Kano State Government has issued an Executive Order banning a group known as Independent Hisbah Fisabilillahi, describing it as illegal and a potential threat to public order.

The Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Abdullahi-Waiyya, confirmed the development on Friday, stating that the order was signed by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in exercise of his constitutional powers to maintain public peace and enforce state laws, in accordance with Section 5(2) of the Constitution.

Abdullahi-Waiyya explained that the Kano State Hisbah Board Law recognises only the officially constituted Hisbah Board as the lawful body authorised to coordinate and carry out Hisbah activities across the state.

He said the government became concerned following reports that certain individuals were mobilising and organising people under the banner of Independent Hisbah Fisabilillahi without any legal backing.

According to him, the executive order declared such mobilisation unlawful, warning that the creation of a parallel Hisbah structure could undermine the authority and operations of the recognised Hisbah Board.

The order expressly prohibits the recruitment, assembly, or training of persons to operate any unauthorised Hisbah or similar enforcement outfit within the state.

“The formation, promotion, or operation of any group known as Independent Hisbah Fisabilillahi, or any similar organisation, is illegal and void,” Abdullahi-Waiyya stated, adding that only the official Hisbah Board is empowered to perform Hisbah duties. He further warned that impersonation of the board’s authority, uniform, or symbols would not be tolerated.

The commissioner disclosed that the governor has directed all security agencies to investigate the organisers and sponsors of the banned group and to immediately stop all its activities.

He also cautioned members of the public that joining, supporting, or aiding the group constitutes a violation of state laws.

“Anyone who has been recruited or approached by the group should disengage immediately and report to the nearest security agency or Hisbah office,” he said.

Abdullahi-Waiyya added that violators of the order may be prosecuted for offences including unlawful assembly, impersonation, and the formation of an unauthorised enforcement outfit.

He noted that the executive order takes immediate effect and will be formally gazetted by the Kano State Government.

That’s how Boko haram started

Northern states should fight against desertification and reclaim land.

Waste of time! The Frankenstein you create will be carried by you!

Government should blame themselves for this, this is what Islam breeds all over the world. Overzealous religion people and terrorists. It's unfortunate,they won't obey the government and they will soon become full-time terrorist in no distance time. That's Islam for you.,.

You are partly right, but the root causes of Boko Haram were bad leadership and poverty.

Mohammed Yusuf argued that the members of political class weren't true children of Allah as they were busy looting public funds, leading to widespread poverty and sufferings.

The Nigerian government became concerned when he started killing those who didn't believe in his teachings. Dude was a powerful orator that made graduates to tear their certificates and follow his sect.

That's how Boko haram started.
Before u know it, the new hisbaah guys will begin to get agitated and rebellious to the main Hisbah

Truly a "great orator" although we can't denial the effect of religion ideology common in Muslims societies

I just wonder how the slogan of Islam is the direct opposite of what they really portray. Religion of peace my arsse.

When US added Hisbah ban as one of the steps that must be taken by Nigerian Government towards peace, you guys shouted. You can see that America has more information on local happenings than the FGN. Or maybe the Nigerian Government has just failed to act.

AVECDEO:

Desertification is not the "thief" of their land.

Terrorism is.

Is this not the normal hisban that we have known for ages?


Next is ban on sharia court and removal of Arabic from our currency and national military insignia

Those ones too will enter forests now

Which of the hisbah is responsible for breaking Nigerian breweries product. The entire hisba should be disbanded. They are responsible for the persecution of christains

Seems extremism always has its roots in Kano, though the fallout often spreads abroad.

Peace has eluded core Nothern Nigeria
