The Kano State Government has closed a shisha lounge called Arfat located along Abdullahi Bayero Road.
The closure was a joint operation between the Kano State Tourism Board, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in the state, and the Kano State Police Command.
Speaking on the measure, the Chairman of the Kano State Tourism Board, Alhaji Tukur Bala Sagagi, said, “There is a law that prohibits shisha smoking in Kano State, and the government will not tolerate anyone violating it.”
He urged owners of similar spots where people engage in drug use to “clean up their places or shut them down before the government takes action.”
The raid was part of the ministry’s campaign against drug abuse, and illegal substances like the ones reportedly found at the lounge.
NDLEA officers also arrested some suspects linked to the activities.
