Sheikh Daurawa returned as Hisbah boss

As reported by Daily Trust, the Hisbah boss will resume office on Tuesday, March 5, according to government sources.

The Kano state government had been making strong moves to return the aggrieved Sheikh to his position.

It was gathered that ‘Zauren Hadin Kan Malamai,’ a delegation of well-respected Islamic clerics, was sent to Daurawa to pacify him to reconsider his position as Hisbah boss. Leadership reported that a coalition of the Ulama and Islamic organisations in Kano state spearheaded the reconciliation move.

Among those who also mediated are the speaker, Kano state House of Assembly, Jibril Falgore and the Chief Imam of National Mosque, Abuja, Sheikh Ibrahim Maqari.
