Lawyer Malcolm Omirhobo has described the decision by the Katsina State Hisbah Board to ban all nightclub activities across the state as hypocritical, illegal, unlawful and constitutional.

The ban was announced by Aminu Usman (Abu Ammar), the Hisbah Commander-General in Katsina.

According to him, nightclub owners must shut down their establishments to curb immoral practices, protect societal values, and address security concerns in the state.

He said,“The board warned that violators would face strict penalties. Security agencies have been instructed to ensure full compliance with the order."

Reacting, lawyer Omirhobo said the Hisbah Commander-General cannot be more Islamic than the Arabs.

"The Arab world from where the Nigerian Muslims copied Islam from, ball and allow night club activities while upholding moral moral values," he added.
