No fewer than 20 men and women have been arrested by Kano State Hisbah Board for bathing together in the state.
BEYOND AFRICA learnt that the perpetrators were arrested at a leisure centre located at Ring Road following complaints by residents of the area.
According to the report by the Deputy Commandant General of the board, Dr. Mujahidin Aminuddin Abubakar, “The offence contravened the Hisbah law as it forbids mingling together of both genders inside the water to bath.”
Abubakar expressed concern over the act, which according to him, “could have been replaced with a more beneficial activity that will fetch them rewards from the almighty.”
