Over fifty
(50) alleged homosexuals have been reportedly arrested by the Sharia Police,
popularly called Hisbah during a party organized at Sabuwar-Gandu Quarters in
the Kano metropolis.
The men were
accused of coming together as homosexuals to celebrate their togetherness
before the commencement of the party. On the contrary, the new graduates
insisted on coming together to celebrate their graduation from the tertiary
institution.
A senior Hisbah commander, Mallam Tasiu, confirmed arresting the homosexuals and also alleged that they invited their same-sex partners to the party. The senior Hisbah commander said that the men were arrested after intelligence gathering. Also, he confirmed that men are undergoing reorientation programmes.
However, Mallam Tasiu disclosed that the reorientation programmes will hold before their prosecution.
