In a remarkable show of togetherness, Christian leaders in Northern Nigeria have teamed up with Muslim counterparts worldwide to support the reinstatement of Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa as the head of the Hisbah Board in Kano.
Pastor Dr. Yohanna Buru, a highly respected Christian leader and the General Overseer of Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry in Kaduna State, Northwest Nigeria, has expressed his backing for the movement advocating for Sheikh Aminu Daurawa’s return to his leadership position in Kano.
Pastor Buru said, “We, as Christians, support your efforts to protect children from adopting harmful cultural practices on social media. It’s important to watch over young people to prevent them from adopting behaviors that go against our religious and cultural values.”
He praised the valuable work being done by Sheikh Aminu Daurawa in Kano State, especially in safeguarding children from immoral influences on social media.
In a statement released on Monday, he urged the people of Kano and the state government to work together to support the Hisbah Board’s mission of eliminating behaviors and teachings that go against religious, cultural, and ethical norms.
“We, as Christians, sincerely request Sheikh Aminu Daurawa to resume his role as the Commandant-General of Kano State Hisbah Board,” Pastor Buru stated.
He also appealed to the federal government to create a regulatory body capable of monitoring and controlling social media to combat the spread of fake news and immorality in society.
Recent reports indicate that the Kano State government is taking proactive measures to bring back Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, who resigned as Commandant-General of the State Hisbah Board.
A group of esteemed Islamic scholars, known as the state Council of Ulama, has been sent to engage with Sheikh Daurawa and address the concerns.
Furthermore, Pastor George John has joined the call, uniting with both Muslims and Christians in urging Sheikh Aminu Daurawa to return to his respected role as the Commandant-General of Kano Hisbah Board.
“The man is making important contributions in protecting the younger generation from foreign and unfamiliar cultures, especially on social media,” Pastor John emphasized.
Similarly, Alaramma Abdulrahman Mohammed Bichi of Kano State has called on all Islamic scholars to join efforts in appealing for Sheikh Daurawa’s return as Hisbah boss to enhance Kano’s greatness.
He urged Jama’atul Nasrul Islam (JNI), the Council of Ulamas, and traditional leaders to unite in bringing back Sheikh Daurawa to the Hisbah Board.
