The Katsina State Hisbah Board has banned all nightclub activities across the state, citing Islamic principles and the need to uphold moral values.
The ban, announced by Hisbah Commander-General Dr. Aminu Usman, aims to curb immoral practices, protect societal values, and address security concerns.
Nightclub owners have been instructed to shut down their establishments, with violators facing strict penalties. Security agencies, including the state Commissioner for Internal Security, have been informed to enforce the directive effectively.
According to Dr. Usman, “We are committed to building a morally upright society and ensuring peace and security in Katsina State.” The ban aligns with Hisbah’s broader efforts to ensure residents live in line with religious and moral standards.
This move has sparked debate, with some arguing it’s a step towards promoting moral values, while others see it as an infringement on personal freedoms.
