Hisbah wages war against street begging, immorality in Katsina

The Hisbah Commander also appealed to residents to always expose places in their communities, where immoralities are committed.

Katsina State Hisbah Board has reiterated its commitment towards stopping street begging across the 34 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.

Dr Aminu Usman (Abu-Ammar), the Hisbah Commander General of the board in Katsina, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday.

According to him, the state government is doing everything possible to sanitise the state from all forms of immorality.

“The state government is making efforts to stop street begging across the state because it’s not part of our religion.

“Begging only tarnishes the image of our religion and society.

“The law establishing the Hisbah Board allows us to watch all nooks and crannies in the state, to search for street beggars and screen them.

“We screen them to find out those that are truly in need of support and we hand them over to Zakat and Waqf board for assistance,” he explained.

He revealed that the state Governor, Dikko Radda, established the Zakka and Waqf board purposely to support those in need of help.”

Abu-Ammar, however, stated that after the screening, those from other states are deported back to their respective states and handed over to the appropriate authorities there.

He drew the attention of parents and other community members in the state, to watch over their children, because the government will no longer tolerate immorality.

The board, he said, will not allow the youths, who are prospective leaders of tomorrow, to continue to be involved in drug abuse and other social vices.

“No parent wishes to see the youths involved in drug abuse, therefore parents should cooperate with us towards making better days for the youths in the state.

“I also appeal to religious and other community leaders, to support us towards achieving the government agenda in this aspect."

The Hisbah Commander also appealed to residents to always expose places in their communities, where immoralities are committed.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
