“The defendant’s previous appearance shows she is allegedly not in a sound state of mind due to suspected drug influence. “Hisbah board should be updating the court from time to time on her well-being for three months”

He alleged that the defendant usually terrorizes Tishama Hotoro Quarters Kano by bringing bad boys at midnight and also disturbs the area by inciting disturbance and using social media to disturb members of the public.
