The Kano State Hisba has arrested eight cross dressers who were dancing at a wedding in Kofar Waika, Gwale Local Government Area of the state.
Dr. Mujaheed Abubakar, Deputy Commander of the Hisbah, disclosed this on Tuesday, October 31 (2023), stating that the suspects were arrested following a report from a citizen that young men were dancing at a wedding dressed as Fulani women.
Hisbah investigators then raided the wedding hall and arrested eight young men, including the groom.
Dr. Mujaheed explained that the suspects were taken to the Hisbah Shariah court, where they confessed to their acts and were subsequently tried for their crimes.
In response, the suspects appealed for leniency and vowed never to engage in such acts again.
