Operatives of the Katsina State Hisbah Board have conducted a targeted raid on a residential property in Dandume Local Government Area, leading to the arrest of a number of young men and women. The house was allegedly being used as a venue for activities deemed immoral and against the community's values.
Details of the Late-Night Operation
The enforcement action took place on December 17, 2025, at approximately 9:30 p.m. According to an official statement, the raid was executed following credible intelligence reports about the nature of the gatherings at the location. The operation was personally overseen by the board's Acting Operations Commander, Malam Aliyu Ahmed.
Malam Abdullahi Muntari, the Information Officer for the Hisbah Board in Dandume, confirmed the incident. He expressed dismay that individuals would allow their residence to be used for such purposes. "It is unfortunate that some people are comfortable letting their house become a den for foul activities," Muntari stated.
Investigation and Community Impact
All individuals apprehended during the raid are currently in custody and are facing investigation. "We arrested several young men and women and we will investigate the matter properly," the information officer assured the public. The board has not yet disclosed the exact number of persons detained.
This event underscores the ongoing efforts by the moral police force to clamp down on behavior it considers a threat to societal norms. The board has reiterated its commitment to sustaining such operations. The primary goal, as stated, is to safeguard the moral fabric and Islamic values cherished by the local community.
A Continued Stance on Morality Enforcement
The Dandume Hisbah Board's action is not an isolated event but part of a broader mandate. Officials have vowed to remain vigilant and proactive in identifying and raiding locations suspected of hosting unlawful or immoral gatherings. This latest raid serves as a clear warning to residents about the consequences of engaging in or facilitating activities prohibited under the board's guidelines.
