Kano State Hisbah board has confirmed the arrest15 young women during operations in different parts of Kano City over alleged prostitution.
It was gathered that the arrest of the women who were accused of engaging in prostitution, took place in Hotoro Tishama, Bakin River Verd Sabon Gari, Miyangu Road, Hadejia Road and old Zoo Road motor parks.
The board’s Deputy Commander-General, Dr. Mujahid Aminuddeen, who confirmed the arrest, over the weekend, said some of the suspected prostitutes had been arrested several times and charged to court, but still engaged in the illegal business.
“It is unfortunate that some of these women leave their states and countries and come to Kano where they engage in prostitution and other objectionable behaviour.
“They roam the streets of Kano and do all sorts of things. We are calling on members of the public to continue to report such activities so that we can sanitise the state
“However, some of these girls also need prayers because when you talk with them, you understand that they find themselves in this situation because of hardship,” Aminuddeen said.
According to him, a lot of the girls have engaged in drug abuse which has changed their appearance and affected their mental stability.
“We have to call on parents to pray for their children to be protected from the evils of drug abuse, which leads to other social vices,” Aminuddeen added.
