No fewer than 20 people- men and women- have been arrested by the Kano State Hisbah Board for engaging in gender-inclusive bathing at a leisure centre located at Ring Road in Kano.
The Hisbah board’s Operation Kau Da Badala effected the arrest after receiving complaints from local residents.
A report by DAILY TRUST quoted Deputy Commandant General of the board, Dr Mujahidin Aminuddin Abubakar, to have said the activity contravened Hisbah law.
“The offence contravened Hisbah law as it forbids mingling together of both genders inside the water to bathe,” he said.
Furthermore, he expressed concern over such activities, suggesting that the individuals involved could have engaged in more beneficial and rewarding activities in accordance with religious teachings.
He therefore, urged parents and guardians to closely monitor their children’s whereabouts.
The suspects, Abubakar said would face appropriate punishment when the investigation was concluded, urging parents and guardians to closely monitor their children’s whereabouts.
