The Commander General of Kano State Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, has resigned.
The resignation came a day after the governor made open criticism on how the Hisbah manhandle suspects during arrest.
Mr Daura announced his resignation in a 2:53 second video shared on his page on Friday, attributing his resignation to some uncomplimentary comments made against him by the governor.
He, however, apologised to the governor for his wrongdoing.
“I’m here in Kaduna attending a retreat organised by the Kano State House of Assembly, on how to implement the law mandating compulsory medical tests before marriage as applicable in other states.
“Soon after, I saw some disturbing reports from Kano State that weakened my spirit. I have been making efforts for Hisbah to fight indecency and promote moral values among indigenes of the state.
“I tried my best to engage actors and actresses. I offered them advice. We had a deep conversation on how to tackle movies that were against our culture and religious beliefs.
“I also held a meeting with TikTokers, and my directors and I even contributed money from our private pocket as a token for them to purchase mobile data.
“I also invited Murja [Kunya] and her colleagues, I did everything possible to ensure they did the right thing.
“But some of them dismissed our advice, and continued to live an unholy lifestyle, which is having a negative influence on the morals of our citizens.
“We tried our best to do the needful. However, I am appealing to the governor to forgive me for my mistakes and the utterances he made against me.
“I am therefore resigning from my position as the director general of Hisbah, I wish the governor all the best in the discharge of his duties,” he said.
