Recent photos making rounds on social media reveal the ongoing training of newly recruited Hisbah members in Katsina State.
The images have sparked widespread discussions, with many speculating that the training, which appears to include military-style drills, might be aimed at preparing the corps for emergencies or deploying them to address the persistent issue of banditry in the region.
The Hisbah Commission, originally established in Kano State, was created to promote good deeds and discourage harmful practices within communities. However, the recent training has raised questions about whether the corps is evolving to take on broader security responsibilities.
