The second Commissioner of the Kano State Sharia Commission, Sheikh Ali Dan Abba, disclosed this shortly after emerging from an Executive Council meeting chaired by the Commission’s Chairman, Sheikh Abbas Abubakar Daneji, held today to mark one year since they assumed leadership of the Commission.

He further stated that since assuming office, the Kano State Sharia Commission has recorded various achievements, including moral reformation of male and female youths and children, improved relationships with other agencies, and the provision of developmental initiatives within the Commission, all aimed at moving Kano State forward.
Sheikh Ali Dan Abba also said that from now on, the Commission will begin to take legal action against all officials of Juma’at mosques who block roads during Friday prayers, noting that such an act is wrong according to Islamic teachings.
During the Executive Council meeting held by the Sharia Commission, the Chairman was accompanied by the first Commissioner, Gwani Hadi Dahiru Yakasai, Directors of the Commission, and various representatives, including a representative of the Kano State Secretary to the Government, officials from the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Zakkah and Endowment Board, the Hisbah Board, as well as a representative from the Kano Emirate Council.
