The Hisbah, Kano State’s Islamic police, has announced its plan to resume crackdowns on betting shops following a court ruling reinforcing the prohibition of gambling under Sharia law.
This enforcement aligns with the Islamic tenets practiced in the predominantly Muslim region.
The decision follows concerns from local communities about gambling’s impact, including addiction and its economic consequences, particularly among the youth.
Hisbah’s Deputy Commander emphasized that betting shops operating without proper licensing, often disguised as video game centers, are violating both legal and religious standards.
Recent operations have already led to the closure of several such establishments. Those who continue to operate risk being arrested and prosecuted in Sharia courts, where penalties may include fines.
