The Kano Hisbah Board has demolished the “healing water site” located in Hotoron Arewa in the Kano metropolis.

Recall that the site had attracted thousands of residents and visitors from the neighbouring states, who came seeking divine or spiritual healings.

The Director General of the board, Abba Sufi, confirmed the demolition of the place to the PUNCH Online in a telephone interview on Wednesday.

“The place was demolished on Monday, April 21 after we discovered that some disgruntled elements are using the place to mislead desperate patients seeking treatment,” Sufi said.

He maintained that the board would not allow some ‘undesirable elements to mislead people in the name of getting treatment for whatever ailments’.

Sufi warned Kano residents and those coming from other places to disregard what is being said about the sanctity of the place, describing it as a scam.

He added that the place had been demolished.
