On Tuesday, the Katsina State Hisbah Board announced a new restriction prohibiting girls from hawking after 10pm across the state. In a press briefing at the board's headquarters, Commandant General Saifullahi Musa announced the measure to protect girls from potential abuse and social risks. The Hisbah Board, established by Governor Dikko Radda in 2023, aims to promote Islamic values and address social concerns.
The restriction covers areas such as motor parks, markets, and other public places where hawking occurs. Musa revealed that Hisbah personnel would be deployed to enforce the directive in strategic locations. He also emphasized the need for parents to take responsibility for their children's safety and welfare. Additionally, the Hisbah Board plans to regulate traditional medicine dealers for compliance with Islamic values and address reports of brothels reopening in certain parts of the state.
