In an unexpected move, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, the Commander General of the Kano State Hisbah Board, has resigned his position.
The abrupt decision was announced by the popular Kano cleric via his Facebook page on Friday.
The commander, known for his efforts in upholding morality, particularly among TikTokers, expressed frustration at the challenges faced in fulfilling this responsibility.
The resignation statement, posted on Friday morning from Kaduna, coincided with Sheikh Daurawa’s participation in a retreat organised by the Kano State House of Assembly.
The retreat focused on the crafting of a law mandating medical check-ups for couples before marriage.
Sheikh Daurawa apologised to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for the sudden nature of his departure, emphasising his dedication to the role.
The timing of the resignation raises speculation, especially considering Governor Yusuf’s recent expressions of dissatisfaction with the Hisbah Board’s approach to arresting suspects.
The Hisbah Board has been in the eye of the storm in recent days over the arrest and trial of a controversial female TikToker in the State, Murja Kunya.
