Katsina Hisbah seals hotel for allegedly lodging underage girls

A hotel in Katsina’s city center has been ordered to close immediately by the Katsina State Hisbah Board due to accusations that it is influencing the morals of young females.

This was confirmed by the state’s Hisbah Commander General, Dr. Aminu Usman, to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Katsina.

He added that The hotel was discovered to be in breach of a previous contract made with hotel owners throughout the state.

“The hotel violated the Board’s regulations by allowing underage girls to stay at the premises.

“The Board discovered that two underage girls were lodged in the same room during a recent inspection, which contravenes the Hisbah laws.

“This is the second time such an offence was committed at the New Palace Hotel, in spite of previous warnings by the Board and a promise by the hotel’s management to stop such incidents.”

He continued by saying it was decided at a cooperative conference with hotel operators throughout the state that no hotel would take in minors.

“Due to the hotel’s failure to comply with the Board’s regulations and meet the stipulated conditions, we have decided to shut it down with immediate effect.

“We remain committed to enforcing reforms and instilling discipline that aligns with the religious and cultural values of the state under the rule of law to ensure lasting peace,” the commander said.
