Kano tricyclists found conveying opposite sexes risk ten lashes, six months ban - Official



The Kano Hisbah Board on Thursday said tricyclists found conveying opposite sexes in the same tricycle would be punished with ten lashes or banned for six months.

The head of the Hisbah, also known as state’s moral police, Harun Ibn-Sina, told PREMIUM TIMES that the defaulters have an option of N5,000 fine or risk punishment depending on the gravity of the offence committed.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the state government reintroduced the ban on opposite genders from plying the same tricycle in its bids towards upholding Islamic values and respecting the dignity of female gender in the state.

The ban would come in force from January 1, 2020.

The Hisbah commander said any tricycle operator found carrying male and female passengers at the same time has committed an offence under the Kano State Road Traffic (as amendment) law 2005.

Upon arrest, he said, the offender would be taken to a mobile, magistrate, or Shari’ah court.

Mr Ibn-Sina, however, said the law is not applicable to couples, underage children and family members. He said adequate measure have been put in place to ensure the success of the operation with the support of the Kano road traffic agency (KAROTA) and other agencies.

Lawyer reacts

A Kano-based lawyer, Rabiu Rijiyar-Lemu, said the laws as introduced by the Hisbah would create unnecessary tension among tricyclists, passengers and the law enforcement agents in the state.

“If the Hisbah cannot provide a written document with relevant section explaining flogging and six months banned as well as N5,000 fine as punishment for tricyclists that ply opposite genders, then the law is void because it contravenes Section 36 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” said Mr Rijiyar-Lemu.

According to the lawyer, the main function of the Hisbah Board as contained in Section 7 of the Hisba Board Law 2000 provided that the general duties and obligations of the corps are to caution people when they are deviating from doing the right things.

“Kano, like many other cities in Africa, are followers of Maliki Islamic school of thought, and the school mitigates some harshness of application and implementation of hard principles of Shariah; that is to make sure there is peace, harmony as well as tranquillity among Muslims.

“Even if there is a law as stated by the Hisbah commander, this law must consider the situations of the Kano community first in order to ensure that the law reflects the wishes of the peoples to that effect,” Mr Rijiyar-Lemu said

Sharia law promotes homosexualism and lesbianism. No wonder the act is prevalent in states that has anything to do with Islam.


I think I accept the law and should be adopted by states with at least 30% Percent Muslims population.


That's the best way to go.

End of careless erections.

Lol how far are they willing to take this. Will this apply to all commercial vehicles like taxis, Ubers, limos, buses, planes. They should go all out if they're serious.

The greatest evil in the solar system is Islam

The North and the SW are trying hard in order to take Nigeria back into the Stone age.

Of all the problems in the land, this is considered most important!

Sharia law in full effect

I think it's time we all go our separate ways... We have nothing in common as a people ..
We keep going in circles and deceiving ourselves.
How can people destroy alcohol drinks and still accept VAT paid by such companies made in other regions that consume their commodity...

The hypocrisy stinks to high heavens

I dont blame them taking the money on the table. This conversation is only happening on the internet instead of NASS. This one of few bills that would get a veto proof majority in my opinion. Who's going to vote against giving themselves bigger piece of cake to feed someone who wont help bake.

What's gravity in that ..You see the mentalities,the I am sharing country with..the 72 virgin pursuerer ..

Mr Ibn-Sina, however, said the law is not applicable to couples, underage children and family members.

The better question is how would an officer know the lady your riding with your cousin. At least your sister will have the same last name. Kano didnt think out this law just like their new marriage law.

This is the reason why African are backward
Why did they introduce. The tricycle is it for converying human bean or goat
Is well

My question is that aren't there more pressing issues in Kano state than men and women seating in the same vehicle.

So to Kano state law makers , it's Haram for members of the opposite sex to seat in the same Keke but no one bats an eyelid when ganduje stuffs his cap with dollars.

Who knows im guessing they just want to look busy.

The courts protected Gandolla the state assembly. I dont know of they would have done anything if they ruled in their favor. They also stopped DailyNigerian from releasing more videos. The website should've leaked it anyway claiming they were hacked.
