The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested 78 youths- male and female, at a party, over alleged acts of immorality and indecent dressing.
Haruna Ibn-Sina, commandant, Kano State Hisbah Board, said they were arrested at an event centre called ‘White House’ in the Nasarawa GRA area of Kano.
Immoral acts are banned under Sharia law operating in Kano State.
The Hisbah boss said the suspects denied attending a same-sex marriage, adding that they were only celebrating the birthday of their friend.
“When we received the report, we went there and could not establish a fact that they were holding same-sex marriage, but we caught them in a highly immoral situation both the males and females,” the Hisbah commander said.
Ibn-Sina added that all those arrested are currently under custody of the command as at the time of filing this report.
