Katsina Law Firm Lodges Complaint with State Government Over Hisbah Misconduct
A Katsina-based law firm, Legal Minded Law Firm, has formally complained to the state government about alleged misconduct by members of the State Hisbah Board. The law firm claims that Hisbah members have been involved in unlawful invasion, harassment, and the disappearance of ₦221 million.
According to the petition, dated March 18, 2026, the law firm is representing a businessman, Alhaji Jibrin, who has been a victim of the alleged misconduct. The petition was addressed to Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, urging him to take immediate action against the erring officials.
The law firm is seeking justice for their client and an end to the alleged misconduct by the Hisbah members. The case highlights concerns about the activities of the Hisbah Board and the need for accountability in the state.
The Katsina State government must take concrete steps to address the allegations of misconduct by the Hisbah Board. Governor Dikko Umaru Radda's response to the petition will be a crucial test of his administration's commitment to accountability and the rule of law. The disappearance of ₦221 million is a staggering sum that could have far-reaching economic implications for the state. The people of Katsina deserve to know what happened to the missing funds and who is responsible for the alleged misconduct. The Hisbah Board's actions have serious consequences for the business community in the state, and it is imperative that the government takes swift action to restore confidence in the institution.
