The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested 20 individuals, including men and women, for engaging in gender-inclusive bathing, which is prohibited by the Hisbah legislation in the state. The arrests were made following complaints from locals, and members of Operation Kau Da Badala conducted the operation at a recreation center on Ring Road.
Mujahidin Aminuddin Abubakar, the deputy commandant general of the board, expressed concern over the act, stating that it goes against the Hisbah legislation, which prohibits bathing in water with people of the opposite gender in the same space. He emphasized that such actions could have been replaced with activities that would bring blessings from God.
Abubakar urged parents and guardians to closely monitor their children's whereabouts to prevent them from engaging in such activities. He also mentioned that the suspects would face appropriate punishment once the investigation is concluded.
