A group of former Hisbah commanders from all 44 local government areas in Kano State have alleged that they were sacked by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration because they refused to join the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
Speaking when they paid a solidarity visit to the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, in Abuja, their leader, Alhaji Ahmad Kadawa, said their removal in 2023 was nothing short of politics.

“They removed us simply because we would not join the NNPP or wear the red cap that represents the Kwankwasiyya Movement,” Kadawa told the lawmaker. “We are here to reaffirm our loyalty to you and the All Progressives Congress (APC). Your programmes have already won the hearts of many in Kano.”
Senator Barau, in his response, sympathised with the commanders, describing their dismissal as unfair. He urged them to remain calm and take it as a trial from Allah (SWT), assuring them that justice would come in due time.
“By Allah’s grace, the time will come when you will be reinstated and your entitlements paid,” he said, encouraging them to remain patient and law-abiding.
As of the time of this report, the Kano State Government had not responded to the allegations.
