During the month of Ramadan, Jigawa State Hisbah decrees the immediate closure of all alcohol parlors and prostitution sites.
Ibrahim Dahiru, the state’s Hisbah commandant, claimed in an interview on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, that the measure is part of the corps’ efforts to curb societal vices during Ramadan.
Ibrahim stated that the Hisbah corps has educated commercial sex prostitutes and alcohol marketers.
“We have gone round to such areas across the state and warned the perpetrators of the offences to quit their illegitimate businesses during this holy month of Ramadan or leave the state.”, he said.
The Hisbah commandant declared that operatives would embark on general patrol to arrest those who ignored the order.
