Plans are afoot for the establishment of a Shari’a Police system in Yobe State after the House of Assembly adopted a report by a standing Committee on Justice, Judiciary and Religious Affairs on a bill seeking to establish Hisbah Commission in the state.
The House adopted the report during plenary on Tuesday after deliberation on 41 recommendations of the committee by the members.
While addressing the House, Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Yakubu Suleiman, said establishing the Hisbah Police would assist regular security agencies to ensure full implementation of Shari’a laws across the state.
