“In the year under review, in order to reduce street begging within the metropolis, about 1,269 beggars were evacuated within one month, 386 were repatriated to their states.

“Kano State Hisbah Board has also succeeded in dispersing 86 immoral gatherings and other similar offences to curtail social vices across the state,” he said.
