Kano State Hisbah Commander General, Daurawa, resigns after governor’s criticism

The Commander General of Kano State Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, has resigned.

Daurawa announced his resignation in a viral video shared on Friday in Kaduna where he is attending a retreat organised by the state House of Assembly.

He said that he had tried his best to uphold the morality of the Kano people, including TikTokers.

He however attributed his resignation to some comments made by Governor Abba Yusuf regarding his work during the week.

Daurawa apologised to the governor over some of his actions the governor was not so comfortable with, noting that all his actions were in good faith.

Recall that Hisbah operatives recently arrested a popular TikToker in Kano, Murja Kunya, over her activities which are against the Sharia.

The TikToker was later released before the adjourned date in court which generated a lot of controversy among the residents.

Yusuf had on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction over the way the Hisbah operatives are carrying out their operations.

He made the remark during a meeting he held with Imams from the 44 local government areas of the state.
