Governor Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari of Zamfara State has signed a bill conferring more powers to the state Hizbah commission to arrest, interrogate and search residences or items where they suspect anti-Sharia activities or substances banned by Sharia are being kept.
Yari, who signed the bill yesterday at the Government House Chamber, Gusau, Zamfara State, shortly after addressing thousands of the citizens who converged at the state trade fair, Gusau, to celebrate this year’s Democracy Day, said: ‘’In our determination to strengthen Sharia implementation across the state, I would like to use this opportunity to announce that immediately after this address, I will sign a bill that will give Hisbah Commission the power to arrest, interrogate and search residences or items where they suspect anti-Sharia activities or substances banned by Sharia are being kept.”
He then thanked members of the state House of Assembly for passing the important Sharia-related bill, which will help in further consolidating the position of the state in the implementation of Sharia.
Yari, who stated that his administration had never declined to sustain all the Sharia machineries and legal documents he inherited from the previous administrations, said his administration had extended investment to the custodian of the norms and values by undertaking the construction of a befitting modern Emir’s palace at Gusau Emirate Council.

Jungle justice loading...

IGP on hearing this.... Youdontmeanit

Beer sellers, club owners, night club slay mamas, pork and dog meat bukkas...watch out.

Fanatics in power. Soon they will run to Abuja to collect proceeds from the same activities he is fighting.
Send your people to school. That is better than this as an achievement.

Hmmm.... Na so e dey start o o

Finally.

What happens to Pork meat? The fact that you guys don't eat doesn't mean other residents who are not Muslims cannot patronise them, this is business. You guys are so blinded by religion over there and the funnies thing is your politicians take you for a ride because they know how to stir your tummy. Gov. Yari built a hotel worth $3m in Lagos but he will be shouting Sharia in Zamfara. Converting state funds to personal use is Islamic too?

You guys should wake up and address main issues rather than frolics!

What is zamfara's IGR again?

Yeah N4.7bn in a year.. was hoping to hear offences like armed robbery, murders etc..

And it had be Zamfara. It always starts from Zamfara!

I hope sharia is still strictly applicable to adherents of the islamic faith. I just hope this is not their way of breaking into Christian/non-muslim homes and businesses to harass them in the name of investigating anti-sharia activities.

I laugh

Sharia law is only applied to Muslims. I hope the Hizbah commission officers will not go overboard to harass, intimidate and suppress non - Muslims.

Zamfara! No problem they can go against the Constitution in that part for that reason

Hypocrite. No wonder they run to the south to commit their atrocities.

Other states should also emulate this illegality and set up their own security outfits....

Especially the middle belt states
Where there are serious security challenges...
The federal government will not do much to help...
I urge the governors of those states to rise up and guard their wards with any possible means..

Destruction of alcohol and harassing non Muslims is not more important than human lives

I completely agree with you sir.

Can Ortom make Anti-Christian law in Benue? If no, then Yari's Anti-Sharia law in Zamfara is ultra vires his powers.

Is Nigeria a sharia country? If no, hisbah has no right to search anybody not to talk of homes. If then born hisbah well make them go mammy market go dey search na.

These wicked leaders will keep giving laws they themselves can't obey not even their children or household.

Watch out, another deadly demon worst than boko haram may arise through this hisbah.

Instead of then to strengthen institutions, make it compulsory that every child in zamfara must go to school, abolish almajiri, he is busy creating problems through hisbah.

The Muslim elite will continue to make life terrible for the majority poor in the north through terrible laws.

Just keep una stupidity in the North...

Hmm! The state should have a law banning the receipts of funds derived from Haram items like beer then.

What is the point of destroying beer bottles and arresting bar owners when the economy of the state partially depends on Federal allocation which includes VAT from the "illegal" items?

And same people are in the south west and middle belt fighting anti open grazing law passed by the respective state...!!
Ah..!! One Nijeriya..!!!

Peace..!!

Southern Nigeria will remain eternal idiots if they do not set up their own state police outfits and deal with issues peculiar to states. Northern hisbah boards is nothing but "State Police" in disguise and they get federal allocation to maintain them. For how long will other parts of the country remain blind to this double standard?

The same people who are mobidly wary of the establishment of State Police, have disguised State Police in the form of Hisba.

The notion that Sharia only applies to Muslims is a LIE. Christians in the north are being harassed daily by these sharia fanatics.

It should be restricted to their region..

It's ironic that terrorist who opposed Otom's "Anti Open Grazing Law" see nothing wrong with setting up Sharia police to destroy non Muslim's hard earned businesses.

Thank you? This sharia thing is injustice as anybody can claim not be a muslim after committing offense and wouldn't be breaking the law.

God bless you. The double contradicting standard is obvious.
