Recall that a man identified as Yahaya Zakari was recently arrested by Hisbah over the allegation that he took a young woman to his house.
Zakari who is a pharmacist was said to have taken the lady to his house located at Sabuwar Gandu in Kano metropolis.
Confirming the arrest, the head of the Hisbah board, Harun Ibn-Sina, said Zakari was picked when his neighbours were uncomfortable with the way he brought the lady home.

The Hisbah boss, Sheik Harun Ibn Sina, said people who are sharing videos and photos of the dress are committing sin.
