“The young woman went to buy drugs from Zakari’s chemist when he took her to his house,” he said.
The Hisbah boss expressed displeasure over the alleged action, assuring that the board would conduct a thorough investigation into the development.
He, therefore, advised parents to monitor the movement of their children closely, especially female wards, to prevent unwanted incidents.
