From Umar Danladi Ado, Sokoto
The Sokoto State Government on Tuesday sealed two more hotels in the Tamale area of Sokoto South Local government area for harbouring immoral activities.
The affected two hotels are Smart Garden Hotel and Dinero Hotel all located in the Tamaje area in the state metropolis.
It could be recalled that recently the state government closed down the Iforma Hotel along the Trade Fair complex because a lady was killed in the hotel guest room.
The State government under the leadership of Governor Ahmad Aliyu, has taken decisive action against the two hotels for allegedly harbouring immoral activities such as prostitution, drug use, and noise pollution, which have been disturbing the peace of the community.
The State House of Assembly has ordered the closure of the hotels, and the Governor has directed the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to seal off the hotels.
The Commissioner of Religious Affairs, Sheikh Jabir Sani Maihula, and the Commissioner of Commerce and Industry, Hon. Haruna Abbas Bashir, have led the team that shut down the hotels.
This move has been praised by the community, who have been complaining about the hotels’ activities.
The people are hailing the governor as a champion of morality and a true leader who listens to their concerns.
