Operatives of Hisbah police recently stormed a hotel in Kano state to assault and arrest guests for lodging in the facility.
A video making rounds online shows the officers carrying out a raid in the hotel. They were also captured beating and harassing guests as they shoved them at the back of their van.
However, it is currently not clear if those arrested during the raid have been released or are still in police custody.
The incident has stirred an uproar on social media, with many criticizing the Hisbah Police for the inhumane treatment they subjected the guests to simply because they lodged in a hotel.
