Man Who Put Himself Up For Sale Gets Arrested

A man who put himself up for sale has been arrested by the Kano Hisbah Board.

Recall that Naija News earlier reported that a young man who is a tailor by profession had put himself up for sale for ₦20m due to the hardship in the country.

The man identified as Aliyu Na Idris, held up a placard which stated that he was for sale for ₦20m.

Na Idris stated that he began his venture from Kaduna but moved to Kano when he could not find a buyer, he went ahead to reveal that he had been offered ₦300,000, ₦5m, and ₦10m but he refused because he wanted the exact sum he demanded. He revealed that he would keep going from state to state till he found a buyer.

He said: “Even though many people have offered me various prices of ₦10m, ₦5m and ₦300,000 in Kano, I refused because the amount is less than what I expected.”

However, recent development suggests that Na Idris plan might have been truncated as the Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested him. The commander-general of the board revealed to BBC News Pidgin that it was forbidden in Islam to sell oneself.

He stated: Yes we arrested him yesterday (Tuesday) night and he spent the night with us but I haven’t interrogated him.”
