The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested eight teenage girls and one young man during a night operation targeting street wandering in the Kano State. The suspects were apprehended for participating in an activity locally known as “good evening”, where young women loiter in strategic areas to be picked up by affluent individuals for social outings.
The Deputy Commander-General of the board, Dr. Mujahideen Aminuddeen, confirmed that the raids were aimed towards sanitizing the moral atmosphere of the state as the year 2025 draws to a close.
According to Hisbah officials, the girls are allegedly patronized by wealthy individuals who convey them to various social spots, paying them between ₦5,000 and ₦30,000.
These girls are often patronised by affluent individuals… We call on parents to take greater responsibility for the upbringing of their children to prevent them from falling into social vices – Dr. Mujahideen Aminuddeen
All nine suspects are currently in custody and will be charged to court once investigations are finalized.
HIsbah board urged parents and caregivers to provide better moral guidance and also monitor children’s movements.
