Kano state hisbah board says it has succeeded in apprehending eight young men and women, suspected of phone snatching and other criminal activities at Al Furqan mosque Nasarawa GRA.
Commander general of the board Sheikh Dr Harun Muhammad Sani Ibn Sina confirmed the arrest to newsmen in Kano.
He explained that, the eight suspects were arrested in the afternoon and were engaged in using drugs and other intoxicants at Race course.
The commander general described their action as inappropriate as Islam prohibits Muslims from engaging in immoral acts during fasting period.
Sheikh Ibn Sina urged the general public to be more vigilant, and report any suspected person or character to relevant authorities, as Kano state hisbah board will not relent in its efforts of sanitizing Kano of all forms of vices.
He said the suspects will be handed over to relevant authorities for necessary action.
