The Commander General of Kano State Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, has resigned.
The Commander General announced his resignation in a viral video shared on his official facebook page on Friday.
He said this in Kaduna, where he is presently attending a retreat organised by the state House of Assembly.
His resignation came less than 24 hours after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf faulted the new method of operations being deployed by Hisbah against acts of immorality in the state.
Addressing Ulama at the Government House on Thursday, Gov. Yusuf especially kicked against the mode of invading public places in the name of arresting prostitutes, an act he considered uncivilised.
Governor Yusuf also frowned at Hisbah’s methods of arresting suspects, insisting the board must review its present operations to correct the wrongs in society.
Reacting to Governor Yusuf’s comment, the Daurawa explained that the Hisbah board, under his stewardship, has embarked on a series of activities to correct the immorality being perpetrated in society, especially by social media influencers.

He said that he has tried his best to uphold the morality of the Kano people, including TikTokers.
Daurawa apologised to Yusuf over some of his actions the governor felt not so comfortable with, noting that all his actions were in good faith.
