The Kano State Government has come out to clarify the situation in the wake of a widely shared video on social media that connected the Hisbah Board to LGBTQ people.

Therefore, under the pretense of combating gender imbalance, the state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has ordered Hisbah to attack organizations that support LGBTQ people.

Hisbah had been at odds with gay clubs in the state known as “Yan daudu.”

The commander general asked the populace to exercise caution over the actions of LGBTQ individuals, who are spreading their message and drawing young people into their clubs throughout the entire state.
