The Kano State Hisbah Board has asked parents to desist from buying expensive phones for their children and also constantly monitor their activities to shield them from mingling with bad friends.

This warning came after the arrest of two young men suspected of sending pornographic materials to a married woman.

A statement released by the Islamic security board’s spokesman Lawan Ibrahim on Monday said that the suspects were traced and arrested after the woman lodged a complaint with the board.

It said that the commander-general of the board, Dr. Harun Ibn-Sina, ordered a full investigation into the matter.

“The board collected the phone numbers from her which led to the arrest of the two men at Unguwa Uku in Tarauni Local Government Area. The young men are between the ages of 20 and 21.

“We have summoned their parents to speak with them and for them to pay keen attention to their wards’ way of life to avoid such behaviour in future,” the statement added.
