Hackers seize Kano Hisbah’s Facebook page, floods it with sexual content

The Commander of the Kano Hisbah board has assured the public that efforts are ongoing to regain control of the Facebook page.

A group of hackers have seized an official Facebook page belonging to the Kano State Hisbah Board.

The hackers took over the social media platform with over 82,000 followers on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, flooding it with sexually explicit content.

The Kano State Hisbah Corps is a religious police responsible for the enforcement of Shari'a on Muslims in Kano state and other parts of Northern Nigeria.

Their activities include the prevention of perceived immoral acts, ranging from alcohol consumption, sexual relationships between unmarried couples and prohibition of the use of mannequins in boutiques.

Hisbah is famous for confiscation and destruction of alcoholic beverages, arresting unmarried couples in hotels, and disrupting social gatherings perceived as unapproved under its creed, among others.

However, since gaining access to its Facebook page, the hackers have been posting content that is directly opposed to Hisbah's ideology.

One of the videos posted showed a white woman breastfeeding her child while putting her mammary gland on full display.
