Hisbah arrests 19 males for attending same-sex marriage in Kano

The Kano State chapter of an Islamic moral enforcement agency, Hisbah has arrested 19 males for attending a same-sex marriage ceremony

Hisbah’s spokesman, Malam Lawan Ibrahim, stated on Tuesday in Kano that the youths were assembled at the wedding of two suspected homosexuals, Abba and Mujahid.

“The arrest was made after a Good Samaritan hinted to the board about the same-sex marriage.

“Our personnel attached to Hisbah board headquarters, Sharada Kano, arrived at the scene before the commencement of the wedding.

“Among those arrested were 15 females and four males,’’ Ibrahim stated.

“Those arrested will be handed over to the police for necessary action as most of the ladies claimed they were invited to the wedding from neighbouring states.

“We shall intensify efforts to ensure that Abba and Mujahid are arrested,’’ he added.

Ibrahim stressed that the board was determined to eradicate all vices in the state.
