The Islamic police force, Hisbah, in Kano State announced the arrest of 20 residents, both men and women, for bathing together.
The Kano Hisbah Board explained that officers from Operation Kau Da Badala conducted the arrests at a leisure center on Ring Road in Kano, the state capital, following complaints from the community.
As reported by the Daily Trust, Dr. Mujahidin Aminuddin Abubakar, the Deputy Commandant General of the board, noted that this behavior breached Hisbah law, which prohibits men and women from bathing together.
Expressing concern over the act, which according to him, could have been replaced with a more beneficial activity that would fetch them rewards from the Almighty, Abubakar said that upon completion of investigation, the arrested persons would be punished accordingly.
He called on parents and guardians to keep a close eye on their children’s movements.
