The Kano state Islamic police, Hisbah, has revealed their plans to invite Miss Nigeria, Shatu Garko’s parents
The Hisbah board commandant, Haruna Ibn-Sina, noted that Garko’s parents will be invited to answer questions on their daughter’s actions
According to them, participating in Miss Nigeria is un-Islamic and her actions might encourage other ladies
44th Miss Nigeria, Shatu Garko’s win has raised eyebrows from the Kano Hisbah board as they plan to take action.
According to reports from BBC Pidgin, the Hisbah commandant, Haruna Ibn-Sina, noted that Garko’s parents will be invited to answer questions on their daughter’s actions.
It was also stated that the young lady’s participation in a beauty pageant is against Islam and her action might serve as an inspiration for other ladies to act the same way.
Shatu Garko became the first Hijabi to win the Miss Nigeria crown since the beauty pageant’s inception.
Ibn-Sina noted that it had been confirmed that Garko is a Muslim from Kano, a Sharia state and that they would not let her actions pass by without questions.
He said:
“We (Hisbah) has confirmed that Shatu Garko is a Muslim from Kano state and her parents come from Garko LGA. Kano is a Sharia state and this is why we will not allow the matter to die like that.
“We will invite the parents to talk to them about the actions of their daughter and the fact that what she did is illegal in Islam. This is to make them know that she cannot continue that path and also stop other girls from copying her.”
According to the Kano Hisbah commandant, organisers of such beauty pageants risk facing the wrath of God.
