Operatives of Hisbah, an agency under the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Kebbi, have arrested a man found hiding in a “Ghana Must-Go” bag at a married woman’s house in Badariya area of Birnin Kebbi.
Director of Sharia at the board, Sirajo Kamba, confirmed the arrest in a statement issued on Tuesday in Birnin Kebbi.
According to Kamba, residents of the area alerted Hisbah around 12:15a.m. on Monday, May 18, after noticing a man entering the woman’s house.
“The residents suspected an illicit affair contrary to Islamic teachings, hence their decision to formally notify the authority.
“Upon receiving the report, the Kebbi Hisbah Board swiftly deployed officers to investigate.
“When officers arrived, they requested permission to search the house but the woman initially denied that no one was inside,” he narrated.
The director, however said, the woman later obliged and allowed for a thorough search, which led to the discovery of the suspect concealed inside a “Ghana Must-Go” bag.
He added that further investigation revealed an alleged romantic relationship between the man and the married woman.
Kamba said upon interrogation both lovers admitted to the allegation, adding that the suspects would be arraigned in court to face legal proceedings under the Islamic law.
