The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested a man identified as Taufiq in the Sabuwar Gandu area over allegations of practicing witchcraft.
Deputy Commander of the Board, Sheikh Mujahid Aminudden, said in a statement on Friday that the arrest came after several complaints from residents, leading to an investigation.
He explained that the community was unsettled by the alleged acts and decided to alert authorities.
“After concluding our findings, Hisbah operatives moved in and arrested the suspect,” Aminudden stated.
The suspect is expected to be charged to court for allegedly engaging in witchcraft, which is prohibited in Kano State.
