Officials of the Sharia
monitoring group popularly known as Hisbah Commission recently arrested a
commissioner with his lady friend in Zamfara State.
According to a source, the
commissioner, who is from the Zamfara West Senatorial Zone, was arrested following
a tip-off.
The source said the Sharia
monitoring group on receiving the complaint, mobilized and ensured the arrest
of the commissioner and the lady who was said to be a youth corps member at his
guest house in Gusau.
It was alleged that the
commissioner initially tried to evade arrest and that when that failed he offered
the Hisbah monitoring some whopping amount of money as bribe which the group
promptly rejected.
Confirming the arrest of the
commissioner in Gusau, the Chairman of the Hisbah Commission, Mallam Aminu
Aliyu Modibbon Gusau, said investigation into the matter was still ongoing, saying
if the commissioner was found wanting, he would be charged to court.
He said the commission would continue
to arrest and prosecute anybody found violating Shariah legal system no matter
his position.
