Kano religious police clampdown on street beggars
Mohammed O. Taoheed
The Kano State Hisbah Board says it has begun a clampdown on street beggars in the state, leading to the arrest of about 931 in two weeks.
Hisbah also lamented that some of the beggars are being used as spies and informants by miscreants, thereby posing security threat to the state.
The Commander-General of the Board, Muhammad Harun Ibn Sina, stated this in Kano, while briefing newsmen about their activities.
He said some of the suspects are using begging as a cover to perpetrate other social vices.
He said, “As part of our effort of sanitizing Kano of street begging, Kano Hisbah has arrested about 931 beggars in just two weeks. Some of them are able-bodied youths, married women and children who roam the streets of Kano from morning till night.
