Nigerians Praise Shari`ah Police

Cracking down on drunks, addicts or those dressed immorally, Nigeria’s shari`ah police have been receiving praise from Nigerian people, supporting their role as preserving morals in their country.

“Our youth wear tight trousers and they pull them down from their waist,” one man in Kano market told Agence France Presse (AFP) on Thursday, November 28.

“They also have a type of haircut like footballer Mario Balotelli or the Zinedine Zidane cut. There are so many of them.”

Every night, Hisbah men are seen shining their torches into motorized rickshaws, a key means of transport in the city, to determine whether young men and women are using them for canoodling and cavorting.

The patrols, consisting of six men in green uniform, are usually seen in northern Nigeria’s biggest city, on the look-out for drunks and drug addicts.

“Once we receive an intelligence report or a tip-off of an immoral act being committed in a particular place, we mobilize our men to the area and put an end to it and arrest the perpetrators for either counselling or prosecution,” Adamu Haruna Bayero, who heads the patrol, told AFP.

In recent weeks, Hisbah police has launched sweeping crackdowns and made hundreds of arrests in Kano following a state-government directive to cleanse the commercial hub of so-called immoral practices.

On a special celebration on Wednesday, the police publicly destroyed some 240,000 bottles of beer.

The banned booze had been confiscated from trucks coming into the city in recent weeks.

Kano's Hisbah chief Aminu Daurawa said at the bottle-breaking ceremony he had "the ardent hope this will bring an end to the consumption of such prohibited substances".

The day witnessed the spilling of more than 8,000 liters of a local alcoholic brew called "burukutu" and the destruction of 320,000 other cigarettes.

"We hope this measure will help restore the tarnished image of Kano," said Daurawa.
