‘You’re Not Above The Law’ — Hisbah Kicks Over Yusuf Buhari’s Fiancée Bridal Shower Gown

The Kano state Hisbah board has tackled Zahra, fiancée to Yusuf
Buhari, over photos of her bridal shower gown making the rounds on
social media.

Zahra, who is the daughter of Nasir Ado Bayero, the Emir of
Bichi in Kano, and Yusuf, son of President Muhammadu Buhari, are
scheduled to tie the knot on August 20.

The spotlight recently beamed on Zahra after she was seen
donning a bridal shower gown that revealed around the shoulder and
arms.

Her gown — a figure-hugging lacy white dress — was also without
a head covering as expected of many conservative Muslims.

Shortly after the photos surfaced online, several Nigerians had
called out the emir’s daughter, questioning her choice of the dress
as a Muslim.

Hisbah had also come under criticism for keeping mute, despite
the Islamic outfit’s penchant for condemning other Muslims that
wear similar outfits.

But reacting in a chat with BBC
Pidgin,^[1] Harun
Ibn-Sina, Hisbah’s commander, said Zahra is not above the law.

The commander-general of the board also said the emir’s daughter
is expected to lead by example as a Muslim if she wants her
marriage to be blessed.

Hisbah also blasted those circulating photos and video clips
from the bridal shower, saying such action constitutes “a sin.”

Yusuf and Zahra had recently kick-started their pre-wedding
activities with a special polo tournament.
