The Hisbah Board accused the hotel of corrupting the morals of underage girls. While confirming the development, Prof. Abubakar Usman Ribah, Sokoto the Hisbah Deputy Commander General said the hotel has been repeatedly warned against the practice.

He accused the hotel of violating an agreement earlier reached with hoteliers across the state.

“The hotel violated the board’s regulations by allowing underage girls to stay at the premises.

“This is the second time such an offence was committed at the Executive Hotel, in spite of previous warnings by the board and a promise by the hotel’s management to stop such incidents.”

He added that during a collaborative meeting with hotel managers across the state, they agreed that no hotel would accommodate underage children.

“Due to the hotel’s failure to comply with the board’s regulations and meet the stipulated conditions, we have decided to shut it down with immediate effect.

“We remain committed to enforcing reforms and instilling discipline that aligns with the religious and cultural values of the state under the rule of law to ensure lasting peace,” the commander said.
