Hisbah
By Musa Ubandawaki, Sokoto
Sokoto State Hisbah Board has dismissed as false and misleading allegations circulating on social media that the state’s religious enforcement agency has imposed restrictions on Christian worship and practices.
The Board, in a strongly worded statement issued on Saturday in Sokoto by its Commandant, Dr. Usman Abdullahi Jatau, described the allegations as a deliberate attempt to distort the mandate of the agency, undermine public confidence and inflame religious sentiments in a state noted for its long-standing tradition of peaceful coexistence.
