Aminu Daurawa, the Commandant-General of Kano Hisbah, has tendered his resignation following recent criticisms of the Hisbah’s enforcement tactics by Kano Governor, Abba Yusuf.

Daurawa, who headed the Kano State Hisbah Corps, a religious police force responsible for enforcing Shari’a law among Muslims, made the announcement of his resignation in a video posted on his Facebook page on Friday.

The move comes in response to remarks made by Governor Abba Yusuf, who publicly criticized the methods employed by the Hisbah during their operations in the state.

Yusuf particularly condemned the use of force, citing concerns about the potential for injury to individuals being apprehended.

“I saw a disturbing video of a raid on a place and when the offenders are in the process of running away, sticks are used to hit them, and when caught, they are treated like animals and are thrown into a Hilux vehicle,” Yusuf said.

“This act is unacceptable and a big mistake. In the unfortunate event where someone is hit at the back, his spinal cord can be damaged.”

In his resignation video, Daurawa expressed feeling disheartened by the governor’s comments, stating that he found them discouraging.

He highlighted the efforts made by the Hisbah under his leadership to address moral issues in society, particularly related to activities on social media platforms like TikTok.

Daurawa extended an apology to Governor Yusuf for any offense caused and wished him success in his administration.

He said: “I heard some comments coming out from Kano and in all honesty, I feel discouraged.

“I would like to apologise to the governor for being upset and for the comments he made, and I am asking for his forgiveness. I am stepping down from the position he appointed me as the head of Hisbah.

“I wish him and his administration all the best and may Allah guide him.”
