11 Arrested for Illicit Relationships in Kebbi State
BIRNIN KEBBI, Kebbi State — The Hisbah command in Kebbi State has detained 11 individuals suspected of engaging in illicit relationships at an unregistered hotel in the Badariya area of Birnin Kebbi.
Malam Suleiman Muhammed, the State Commandant of Hisbah, announced the arrests during a routine midnight patrol conducted by the command’s operatives. The group includes eight women and three men, who were reportedly found in compromising situations within the facility.
“These individuals were apprehended for violating moral and religious standards by participating in illicit intimate affairs at the hotel,” Muhammed stated. He further noted that none of the arrested individuals are from Kebbi State; they originate from various regions across both northern and southern Nigeria.
The commandant urged residents to refrain from engaging in relationships deemed inappropriate, particularly with individuals who are not their lawful partners. He emphasized the importance of upholding the moral values of the community.
Muhammed confirmed that the suspects will face court charges following the completion of investigations. He reiterated the Hisbah Command’s dedication to maintaining public order and enforcing moral discipline in the state.
