The Katsina state Hisbah Board has banned all nightclub activities across the state.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Aminu Usman, the Hisbah commander-general in Katsina, said there is a need to uphold moral values.
Usman said nightclub owners should shut down their outlets to curb immoral practices, protect societal values, and address security concerns in the north-west state.
“The board warned that violators would face strict penalties. Security agencies have been instructed to ensure full compliance with the order,” the statement reads.
“We are committed to building a morally upright society and ensuring peace and security in Katsina state.
“This move aligns with Hisbah’s broader efforts to ensure residents continue their lives in line with religious and moral standards.”
According to NAN, the Hisbah commander said the board has informed relevant security agencies, including the state commissioner for internal security, to enforce the directive.
