The Plateau State government has banned illegal Hisba activities following the operation of a morality police in Jos North LGA. The government declared it will not permit any parallel authority or self-appointed enforcement body to impose rules on citizens.
Governor's office stated, "Government will not permit the emergence of any parallel authority, self-appointed enforcement body or group seeking to impose rules, restrictions or sanctions on citizens."
The ban comes amid concerns over security and governance in the state. This move aligns with efforts to maintain law and order, as seen in recent incidents in the region. For context, Plateau has faced security challenges, including attacks on communities, as reported earlier.
The government's stance underscores its commitment to upholding constitutional order and preventing unauthorized groups from undermining state authority.
