The Kano State Hisbah Board has called for urgent action against what it says is the frightening increases in child labour, molestation and possibly trafficking of children in Kano.
The Commander General of the board, Sheikh Muhammad Harun Ibn Sina made the complaint in a statement in Kano on Wednesday.
He explained that most underaged girls employed as house helps were usually turned into slaves or are being molested by their masters and mistresses.
Ibn Sina pointed out that cases of elopement were also on the rise in Kano as the board had received various complaints from parents concerning their teenage female daughters eloping with their boyfriends.
