Kano State government has banned an Islamic Cleric based in the State, Abduljabar Nasiru Kabara from preaching for distorting his teachings about Quran.

Kano State Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, while addressing journalists in Kano over the issue stated that the ban was with immediate effect, adding that the decision was taken at the State Executive Council’s weekly meeting which held at the Africa House, Government House, Kano.
Garba said, all his Seminaries are shut immediately to allow Security agents to investigate the Clergy’s activities.
