The Kano State Hisbah Board has directed tailors, supermarkets and boutique owners to desist from making use of mannequins to display clothes in the state.
The Commander General of Hisbah, Sheikh Harun Ibn-Sina, announced the ban on Wednesday, adding that mannequins for advert purposes contravene Islamic injunctions.
Ibn-Sina said, “Hisbah prohibits the use of mannequins at shops, commercial and private residences and other public places.
This violates Islamic provisions. It is also responsible for immoral thoughts among some members of the public. All these are against Islam.
“We have divided Kano into five areas for the monitoring and implementation of the ban across the state.”
He also said that the agency would embark on sensitisation of the people to educate them on how Islam frowns on the use of the mannequins. The agency also said it would deploy officers to apprehend and prosecute offenders.
Recall that on Tuesday, the Hisbah board arrested 40 teenagers for their alleged involvement in immoral acts, which according to the board, are prohibited under the Sharia Law operating in Kano state
