The board explained that 386 beggars of the 1,269 arrested, were repatriated to their respective states of origin as part of efforts to check street begging in the state.
It reported that a total of 1,269 beggars were evacuated from the streets of eight Kano metropolitan local government areas.
Sheikh Harun Sina, the Commander General of the board told newsmen on Thursday that most of those arrested for criminal activities were handed over to security agencies for necessary actions while the underaged ones were returned to their families.
He said the board has succeeded in dispersing 86 immoral gatherings such as same-sex weddings, drug parties and other similar offences across the state to curtail societal vices in the state.
Sina explained that 822 disputes were resolved amicably, stressing that some are still pending at various courts due to their complex nature.
He added that fifteen couples were married at Hisbah while 22 people converted to Islam during Da’awah in 2022.
The Commander General of the board said, “25 trucks of beer containing thousands of bottles were destroyed in 2022 and additional bottles of assorted beer would be wiped out before January 2023
