Officers of the Kebbi Hisbah Board, an agency under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, have apprehended a married woman and five others in a hotel for alleged immoral conduct.
Those arrested included three men and three women.
Director of Shariah at the board, Sirajo Kamba, confirmed the arrest in a statement issued to journalists in Birnin Kebbi, on Friday.
He said the raid was prompted by intelligence gathered 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 added that investigations revealed that one of the women arrested by the Hisbah Board was married.
“This underscores the need for stronger moral upbringing and fear of God in the society,” he advised.
He urged parents to closely monitor their children’s movements and activities to prevent them from engaging in behaviours that undermine societal values and dignity.
