Yahaya Zakari has been arrested for allegedly taking a young woman to his house at Sabuwar Gandu in Kano metropolis.

The commander-general of the Kano Hisbah board, Harun Ibn-Sina, who confirmed the arrest on Friday, said the arrest was made following reports from residents of the area.

“The young woman went to buy drugs from Zakari’s chemist when he took her to his house,” he said.

Mr Ibn-Sina expressed displeasure over the alleged action, assuring that the board would conduct a thorough investigation into the development.

He, therefore, advised parents to monitor the movement of their children closely, especially female wards, to prevent unwanted incidents.
