Deputy Commander of Kano Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminuddeen
By HUSSAINI AMINU
The Kano State Hisbah Board, has warned residents against participating in what is popularly called ‘Color Fest Party’ that promotes immortality among males and females in the state.
The Deputy Commander of the Board, Sheikh Mujahideen Aminuddeen, who issued the warning on Thursday in Kano, said that participants usually gathered around Dangi Flyover to Zoo road.
According to him, they received complaints that the participants used to organise the event on Sunday evening.
He warned that the board would arrest anyone found participating in the event, because it was considered capable of undermining societal morality.
Aminuddeen revealed that mingling of men and women in dancing, drinking, and committing other immortal acts were against religious teachings.
He stressed that anyone arrested would be charged to court for prosecution.
“The board will not tolerate activities capable of damaging the moral upbringing of young people in the state,” he warned.
He, therefore, urged residents to stay away from such gatherings, and respect the religious and cultural values of the state. (NAN)
