The Kano State Hisbah Board has dismissed reports that its Commander-General, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa has resigned over the release of Murja Kunya, a popular TikTok skit maker in the state.
The popular TikToker was recently arrested and arraigned in court by the Hisbah board, following complaints of immorality lodged by the residents of Tishama, a section of the Nassarawa Local Government Area where she resides.
Kunya was remanded in a Correctional facility in Kano.
However, before the adjourned date for the hearing of bail of the embattled TikToker, she was released on bail.
Her controversial release sparked outrage by people on social media calling on the Hisba Boss to resign his appointment because according to rumours, there is a political undertone in the matter.
In the wake of the outrage, it was rumored on social media on Monday that the Hisba Boss has resigned.
In a swift reaction, the Deputy Commander-General, DCG, of the Hisbah, Mujahid Aminundeen, debunks the rumour.
In an audio clip, Mr Aminundeen, who spoke in Hausa, said: “I want to reiterate to our people that Al-Sheikh, Al-Imam, Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa is still the Commander-General of the Hisbah Board.
“He has not resigned. He is still in charge. Probably, some elements want to use the rumours to do something cynical.
“He is still in his position and has continued to carry out his duties.”
