The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested two women and a man over alleged involvement in immoral activities at a housing estate in Kano.
The operation was carried out at the Sheikh Muhammad Nasiru Kabara housing estate, popularly known as Bandirawo estate, along Daura Road in Kano.
The raid was led by the Commander of CSH, Hafizu Garba Adakawa, according to officials of the board.
One of the suspects, Khadija Ahmad, a 30-year-old woman from Rimi Local Government Area of Katsina State, was among those arrested during the operation.
Khadija was said to have told officials that she lived in the apartment with her children and that she occasionally rented out rooms in the house to people for prostitution in exchange for money.
She also claimed that the house was originally given to her by another woman who later travelled to Egypt.
According to her, “I am not the only one involved in such activities in the neighbourhood,” she reportedly said during questioning.
During the same operation, Hisbah officers also arrested a man identified as Ali Abubakar, a 35-year-old fish seller from Kano Cooperative area, alongside a woman, Fatima Abubakar, 28, from Niger State.
The two were reportedly found inside a room and allegedly preparing to engage in immoral conduct when they were arrested.
The suspects were said to have told Hisbah officials that it was their first time and pleaded for forgiveness.
The suspects were later arraigned before Malam Sani Tanimu Hausawa, a judge within the Hisbah premises, for further action.
The Kano State Hisbah Board reaffirmed its commitment to clamping down on immoral activities across the state, warning that such operations would continue in different parts of Kano.
