The Katsina State Hisbah Board has banned all nightclub activities across the state, citing Islamic principles, moral values, and security concerns.
Hisbah Commander-General, Dr. Aminu Usman (Abu Ammar), announced the decision in a statement on Wednesday, directing nightclub owners to shut down operations immediately.
“The board is taking this step to curb immoral practices, protect societal values, and address security threats in the state,” Usman stated.
He warned that violators would face strict penalties, with security agencies instructed to ensure full compliance with the order.
“We are committed to building a morally upright society and ensuring peace and security in Katsina State,” he added.
Usman confirmed that the board has informed relevant security agencies, including the state Commissioner for Internal Security, to enforce the directive effectively.
He emphasized that the ban aligns with Hisbah’s broader efforts to uphold religious and moral standards in the state.
