Kebbi State command of Sharia police, aka, Hisbah Board has arrested six persons, including a married woman, during an operation carried out at a hotel in Birnin Kebbi over alleged immoral activities.
Those taken into custody comprised three men and three women, according to the board.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Director of Hisbah Sirajo Kamba, said the operation followed intelligence reports received by the agency.
“On May 14, the Kebbi Hisbah Board carried out a raid at a hotel located behind the Presidential Lodge, where three men and three women were found engaging in immoral acts.
“Following reports from members of the public, Hisbah officials stormed the location and arrested the individuals involved.
“Investigations are ongoing, and necessary action will be taken in accordance with the law and the board’s regulations,” the director noted.
Kamba disclosed that preliminary findings showed that one of the female suspects was married.
“This underscores the need for stronger moral upbringing and fear of God in the society,” he advised.
He further appealed to parents and guardians to pay closer attention to the activities and movements of their children in order to discourage acts capable of eroding societal values and moral standards.
