The Katsina state Hisbah Board has banned all nightclub activities across the state.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Aminu Usman, the Hisbah commander-general in Katsina, said there is a need to uphold moral values.
Usman said nightclub owners should shut down their outlets to curb immoral practices, protect societal values, and address security concerns in the north-west state.
“The board warned that violators would face strict penalties. Security agencies have been instructed to ensure full compliance with the order,” the statement reads.
