“It Is Against Islam To Call Out Leaders" - Kano Hisbah Explains Why It Treats The Rich And Poor Differently
A director of the Islamic police, Kibiya said it is against the tenets of Islam to publicly criticize a leader.
The Kano Hisbah Board has disclosed why the rich and poor are treated differently while punishing those who disobey their rules.
A director of the Islamic police, Aliyu Kibiya gave the explanation while featuring on a Freedom Radio programme.
Kibiya said it is against the tenets of Islam to publicly criticize a leader.
He said;
“Although we call on everybody in the society to do the right thing, but we make the call on case by case basis.
“It is against the tenets of Islam to mount the podium and call out leaders. There are ways to caution a leader without criticizing him in public."
The Sharia police recently came under fire for allegedly turning a blind eye to some acts committed by the rich and clamping down on young men from poor homes with stylish haircuts, in addition to banning mannequins at fashion shops.
Though the commander-general of the board, Haroun Ibn-Sina told the radio station that they also arrest the children of the rich, he did not cite examples of the children of the rich they've arrested.

Kanye West’s Childhood Home ‘Vandalised’ By Drake Fans
Photos surfaced this weekend of three different signs that appear to have been left on the front steps of the South Shore Chicago house that Kanye grew up in.
Drake and Kanye West
The childhood home of Kanye West in Chicago has reportedly been ‘vandalised’ by Drake fans.
As the rivalry between the two artists rolls on, photos surfaced this weekend of three different signs that appear to have been left on the front steps of the South Shore Chicago house that Kanye grew up in, which he recently bought and is reportedly in the process of renovating.
One sign promotes Drake’s forthcoming album, ‘Certified Lover Boy’, while another attacks Justin LaBoy, the media personality who has been promoting West’s forthcoming album, ‘Donda’.
The final sign, “45 44 Burnt Out”, references a recent collaboration between Drake and Trippie Redd, ‘Betrayal’, where Drake seemingly takes a swipe at West.
No real damage was done to the home whose address is widely public and doesn't seem to have any barricades or security around to keep nosy prowlers out.
It comes as the long-running beef between the two rappers recently flared up again. Following Drake’s collaboration with Trippie Redd, West responded to Drake in a group text between eight people, including Pusha T.
West wrote;
“I live for this. I’ve been fucked with by nerd ass jock n****s like you my whole life. You will never recover. I promise you."

Vundlani Mwandzule

According to Mwandzule, one time, he refused to have sex with her because he was tired, she threatened to cut his manhood with a razor blade.
Vundlani said he met the 42-year-old woman in 2020 just before South Africa went into lockdown.
"We met at a drinking place in River Park, on the outskirts of Alexandra township. We exchanged numbers and our relationship developed like wildfire during level five lockdown, and soon I started visiting her at her house in Lombardy near Edenvale," he told scrollaAfrica
He said every time he visited her, she made sure that she bought him a lot of booze and he got drunk.
"After the booze, it’s all about sex. All night long,” said Vundlani.
Vundlani recalled a situation where he refused to have sex with the said woman because he was tired, and she threatened to cut his manhood with a razorblade.
"I had to give her sex and a lot of it," he said.
Vundlani said his sugar mama had been taking him to expensive places and restaurants.
"Even if we have alcohol in the house, she would still take me out,” he said.
But now he says he's no longer interested in the relationship.
"I am tired. I don’t want her anymore,” he said, but she still wants him.
He said the lady now allegedly shows up unannounced at his place, saying she has spent a lot of money on him and threatening to hurt him.
Vundlani’s mother, Thandazile Tshikhathali, told Scrolla.Africa that her son’s sugar mama has made her life uncomfortable as well, adding that she has reported her to their community leader.
"She comes to my house and tells me I’m poor and I must accept that my son is in love with her. She tells me that she can buy my other children laptops and anything that they want because she has the money.”
Thandazile said that she and her son are considering getting a protection order against her.
The Scrolla.Africa team traced Cecilia (not her real name) who spoke to the team telephonically.
"Wow. I won’t talk about my personal life in the media. I have no comment,” she said.

The operatives also arrested three suspects, Precious Mmaduike ‘F’ (21), Jane Osas ‘F’ (35) and John Obasu (45), in connection with the theft of the children.
The stolen kids, David Ibe ‘M’ (4 years) and Chizaram Ibe ‘F’ (2 years) were children of Mr. Phenasus Ibe, of Balogun Kuku Street, Aguda, Surulere, Lagos State.
According to a statement by the spokesman of the Command, SP Kontongs Bello, the theft of the children was executed by Ibe’s housemaid, Precious Mmaduike.
It was gathered that on the fateful day, at about 8.45 am, mother of the children, gave them N500, to buy biscuit outside the compound in Lagos, in company of the housemaid.
But the children and the housemaid did not return.
All efforts in search of the children and the housemaid proved abortive, as her phone was switched off.
“That was when the father immediately reported the situation to Aguda Police Station, Lagos, where it was discovered that the last location of the housemaid before she switched off her mobile was in Benin city, Edo state.
“The complainant decided to come to the police in Edo state for assistance.
“Men of the Anti-Kidnapping and Cyber Crime Unit of Edo State Police Command immediately commenced investigation.

But unknown to the woman, the children are not for her.
The woman had bought gifts for the children, who are currently with the police,” the statement said.
It was however gathered that while the police operatives were on their way to the State Command in Benin city with the rescued children, the suspects and two other children found in the house, the husband of the woman, one Joseph Obaze, raised alarm of kidnapping against the police operatives.
The alarm attracted a group of “unknown vigilante” members who blocked the road.
Even after the Police operatives identified themselves, the “unknown vigilante” group reportedly went ahead to attack the police operatives with all kinds of weapons, causing bodily injuries to some policemen.
The hoodlums later escaped before police reinforcement could arrive at the scene.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP Philip Aliyu Ogbadu, assured that efforts are in place to apprehend the fleeing vigilante leader and his gang members that attacked the police operatives
He enjoined all law abiding members of the public to go about their lawful businesses, noting that the Command will not allow miscreants in the name of vigilante group to take over the public space.
Ogbadu enjoined the public to continue to provide useful information to the police about criminals and their activities, to help them achieve the mandate of protecting lives and properties.

According to them, the bandits fed them with Indomie and some times beans on their hands, which was never enough to satisfy any of them.
”Since we got kidnapped, we never took our bath. We were fed with small amount of Indomie or beans on our hands. Some days, we stayed hungry as there was nothing to eat.

Umar whose five children were among the 91 children kidnapped told journalists in Minna, ” Though, I see the death of my child as the will of God, I would have been more fulfilled if the child had died at home. This would have given me the opportunity to give him a befitting burial. I thank Allah that the other three are alive and also other children that were kidnapped. Their continued stay with the Bandits was a traumatic experience for all of us”
”But despite all that happened, today everyone is happy over the release of the entire children. We thank God that all our pains and sufferings are over.”
Sharing a similar emotion, the Head Teacher of the Islamiya, Alhassan Ahmed expressed pains as well as joy over the release of the children, after a long stay in the hands of the bandits.
Though, he stated that ransoms were paid to secure the freedom of the abductees, parents have no regrets for whatever amount they paid to the bandits that assisted towards the safe release of their children alive.
”Except for the child that we lost, we thank Allah that all of them returned alive and well.”
However, Ahmed was tactical on the issue of ramsons paid saying, “on the issue of ransoms payment, I meant the ones gathered by the parents, it doesn’t doesn’t mean the state government.”
