Kano Hisbah Invades BUK Hostels Arrests Male, Female Students In Same Room
Officials of Hisbah in Kano state have invaded some off-campus hostels of the Bayero University in Kano, arresting students of the opposite sex found in the same room.
SaharaReporters gathered that the incident happened on Wednesday night at Danbare, a small community directly opposite the university’s gate.
It was learnt that the Islamic police broke into the students’ rooms and took them to their office.
A source said the operation by the state religious body sparked off tension in the neighborhood as other students kept vigil all through the night out of fear of the unknown.
Despite condemnation from Nigerians, Hisbah group has continued its push for Islamic agenda in the North.

This was in addition to other unusual directives reeled out by the Islamic police.
