Confirming the development on Wednesday, the Hisbah Commander General, Dr. Harun Sani Ibn Sina, that the young man was arrested because it is forbidden in Islam for one to sell himself.

“Of course, we arrested and interrogated him on why he took that decision. We later preached to him that in Islam it is forbidden for one to sell himself.

“And we told him that as a human being he does not possess himself, as that he does not have the right to sell off himself. He accepted our preaching and withdrew his earlier intention,” the Hisbah Commander added.

Ibn Sina called on the general public, especially parents, to take good care of their children as shouldered on them by Allah and for better society.

Responding, Aliyu said he did not know that what he did was prohibited in Islam.

“I didn’t know that what I wanted to do is a sin. But now that I realised my mistake, I have withdrawn my intention to sell myself. I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.”
