The Kano State Hisbah Board has banned the use of mannequins to display clothes by tailors, supermarkets and boutique owners in the State.
The Commander-General of the board, Shaikh Harun Ibn Sina, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.
Shaikh Ibn Sina said the use of mannequins by tailors, supermarkets and others contravened Islamic doctrine.
He informed that the board would embark on sensitisation of the public to educate them on how Islam frowns at the use of mannequins.
He said after sensitisation, the board would embark on raiding of those places to remove the mannequins, describing their use for advert purposes as idolatry.
NatureNews recalls that Kano State Hisbah Board said it was looking for a young man who stopped praying and going to the mosque after operatives of the Islamic police shaved his hair.
