Operatives of the Kebbi Hisbah Board, an agency under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, have arrested a young woman and a man at Filin Idi, Birnin Kebbi, for allegedly engaging in immoral acts.
The agency’s Director of Shariah, Sirajo Kamba, confirmed the arrests in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Birnin Kebbi.
He disclosed that seven suspected drug addicts were apprehended during the raid, while other suspects escaped by jumping over the fence.
