KANO HISBAH NAB COUPLE FOR MARRYING AT RESTAURANT
The Kano State Hisbah Board has apprehended a man and his girlfriend for conducting their marriage ceremony at Banana Restaurant on Zoo Road, Kano.
Dr. Mujahideen Abubakar, the Board’s Deputy Commander General of Operations, confirmed the arrest on Thursday, explaining that Hisbah officers raided the restaurant on Wednesday night after receiving a tip-off.
“It’s very unfortunate to tell you that the solemnisation of the purported marriage was conducted in the restaurant by friends of the man without the consent of the parents of the couple,” he said.
He warned that the board would not fold its arms and allow some undesirable elements to continue to violate the shari’a in the state.
According to him, the board had since launched a manhunt for all the guests who participated in the illegal solemnisation of the marriage.
“We arrested the couple. We are trailing friends of the groom who fled the restaurant after our personnel stormed the place,” he added.
The deputy commander stated that the couple breached all the marriage requirements, which constitutes a blatant violation of Shari’a law.
