The Kano State Hisba Board has arrested no fewer than 62 people following a raid at the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology annexe location in Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area of the state.
The Deputy Commandant of the Board, Mujahid Aminudeen, confirmed the arrest of the suspects in a telephone interview with the press on Monday.
Aminudeen said the suspects, made up of 27 males and 35 females, were arrested on Sunday during a joint operation with operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
“On Sunday, our personnel, in a joint operation with NDLEA personnel, apprehended 62 persons at a training centre called NITT in Dawakin Kudu following an intelligence report from some good Samaritans.

“The 62 suspects took advantage of the persistent rain being experienced in the area to enjoy themselves.
“The board will not fold its arms and allow people to continue to violate the Shari’a and therefore call on the public to continue to report those who engage in any act that goes against the Shari’a in the state,” he said.
According to him, the board has also carried out a similar operation at Tamburawa Bridge, where its personnel apprehended some people over similar offences.
The deputy commander said all the suspects would be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
