Kano Hisbah Returns Recovered N212bn To Owners

Hizbah (Shari’a Police in Kano) recovered N212.3 billion and returned the monies to their lawful owners last year.

This was made known by the Assistant Commander General, Kano State Hisbah, Mujahideen Aminudden, in an interview with newsmen.

Aminuddeen was briefing newsmen in Kano on the achievements of the Shari’a Police in the year 2024 and its plans for the year 2025 where he said the monies were recovered by Hizbah in issues related to business disputes, inheritance and debts.

“In the year 2024, we received 16,939 complaints including domestic disputes among couples, business disputes, inheritance, community disputes and debts.

“We were able to achieve 7,884 reconciliations in the said period. We went for 885 operations across the state in which we arrested 354 and took them before the court of law for various violations.

“We also had 2,836 criminal cases that were brought before the Hizbah. Some of these cases include those that have to do with debt recovery in rents, business arrangements, inheritance and the likes.

“What will interest you to know is that Hizbah does all these without any ‘commission-cuts’ or percentages in any form. All the recoveries and returns were made freely.

“This year, under our Commander General, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, we have five resolutions we hope to achieve. These are, public awareness, poverty alleviation, instilling morality, supporting skills acquisition and start-up capitals and cooperating with anyone that is willing to support and promote peace and progress in the state,” he said.
