Sharia Police arrests man place advert to sell self for N20m in Kano

Aliyu Na Idris who has placed an advert to sell himself at the rate of Twenty million Naira (N20 million) has been arrested by Hisbah, a Sharia-inspired police outfit in Kano.

The 26 years old man who worked as a tailor before deciding to sell himself told reporters that he was putting himself up for sale for N20 million because of poverty.

Newsflash Nigeria gathered that the 26-year-old made the decision because he is in financial difficulties.

Idris stated that he tried to sell himself in his hometown in Kaduna State but he could not get a serious buyer, so he decided to move to Kano State in hopes of finding a buyer.

He said, “Even though many people have offered me various prices of N10m, N5m and N300,000 in Kano, I refused because the amount is less than what I expected.

“I will give my parents N10m; I will give N5m as tax to the state where I was bought, the person who helped in advertising me will be rewarded with N2m while the remaining N3m will be kept for me under the care of the person who buys me for my daily upkeep.”

He further stated that if he does not get a buyer in Kano State, he will keep moving until he finds a buyer.

He was however arrested by Hisbah police in Kano.

According to Sheik Harun Ibn Sina, head of Hisbah, who confirmed the arrested, that it is forbidden in Islam to put oneself up for sale for any reason.

“Yes, we arrested him yesterday, and he spent the night in custody but I have not spoken with him,” he said.
