Kano Bans Proposed Hisbah Group, Orders Security Agencies To Arrest Sponsors.
According to Nivo News, the Kano State Government has issued an Executive Order prohibiting the establishment and operation of any parallel religious enforcement body in the state, effectively blocking the emergence of the proposed Independent Hisbah Fisabilillahi allegedly linked to a former governor.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Governor Abba Yusuf signed the Executive Order on Friday evening, immediately outlawing the formation, recruitment, mobilisation, and activities of any Hisbah structure outside the legally recognised Kano State Hisbah Board. The move, the government said, is aimed at preserving public order and protecting the statutory mandate of the existing Hisbah institution.
The development was disclosed by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs during a press briefing in Kano, where he explained that the state had become concerned over reports that certain individuals and groups were unlawfully recruiting members into the unapproved outfit, a development officials warned could threaten the state’s security architecture.
The order, formally titled Kano State Government (Prohibition of the Independent Hisbah Fisabilillahi) Order 2025, categorically declares the proposed organisation illegal. It states that no individual or group is permitted to recruit, assemble, train, mobilise, or deploy persons for the purpose of running a parallel Hisbah or similar enforcement outfit, stressing that any action taken in furtherance of such an arrangement is unlawful, invalid, and without legal effect.
In addition, the state government has directed all relevant security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, to immediately investigate those behind the proscribed group. The agencies have also been instructed to halt any ongoing recruitment or mobilisation and to take all lawful measures necessary to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
The government further cautioned members of the public against associating with, supporting, or participating in the activities of the Independent Hisbah Fisabilillahi, warning that such involvement would amount to a violation of state laws. The order makes clear that offenders will be prosecuted under existing legal provisions, including laws relating to unlawful assembly, impersonation of lawful authorities, and the creation of unauthorised enforcement bodies.
The Executive Order has taken immediate effect and is expected to be formally gazetted without delay.

The dispute involves three individuals — Tony Alile, Kennedy Odion, and Deacon Nosa Ehima — all laying claim to the position of state chairman.
Alile, who emerged from the party’s state congress, said efforts have been intensified to activate internal conflict resolution mechanisms to settle grievances and promote unity ahead of future elections.
Speaking at a political gathering in Ewohimi, Esan South East Local Government Area, he said the move was necessary to strengthen cohesion within the party amid its rising profile.
“We are aware of concerns arising from my emergence as chairman, but I assure members that the party has activated its internal conflict resolution framework to address all issues amicably,” he said.
He added that the party remains focused on unity, inclusiveness, and building a strong platform capable of winning elections and delivering good governance.
Alile also noted that the growing influx of members reflects public dissatisfaction with existing political structures, insisting that ADC is positioning itself as a credible alternative.
Other speakers at the event described recent defections into the party as evidence of shifting political sentiments, saying the ADC is gaining support due to growing calls for better governance and development.
