The Kano State Hisbah Board has concluded arrangements to begin enforcement against the practice of female passengers sitting beside drivers of commercial tricycles, popularly known as Adaidaita Sahu, as part of efforts to promote morality in the state.

In a press release issued on February 13, 2026, and signed by the Director of Public Enlightenment, Auwalu Ado Sheshe, the Board said the move was aimed at sanitising the transport sector and preventing actions that may contravene Islamic teachings.

“The Board will carry out this exercise in collaboration with the association of tricycle riders and owners to sanitize the transport business and prevent actions that may incur the curse of Allah (SWT),” the statement read.

According to the Board, the operation will specifically target situations where women sit in close proximity to tricycle drivers who are not their Maharam (close male relatives), describing the practice as inconsistent with efforts to uphold moral standards in society.

The board called on all tricycle drivers to comply with the directive to avoid sanctions, stressing that enforcement would be carried out in partnership with transport operators.

“Accordingly, the Board calls on all tricycle drivers to comply with this directive in order to avoid facing sanctions from the authorities,” the statement added.

The Board also appealed to female passengers to adhere to the new measure, urging them to “protect their dignity and that of their families.”

It further reaffirmed its commitment to promoting a morally upright society guided by Islamic principles, noting that it is fully prepared to implement the enforcement exercise across the state.
