The Kano State Hisbah Board has apprehended at least 25 persons for allegedly organising a same-sex marriage in the Hotoro area of Kano metropolis.
Deputy Commander of the Board, Dr Mujahedeen Aminudeen, confirmed the arrest in a statement made available to The Daily Reality on Sunday.
He said the suspects—18 males and seven females—were arrested at the Fatima Event Centre along Hotoro Bypass on Saturday.
“Today, Saturday, 25th October 2025, we received a report that some individuals were allegedly organising a same-sex marriage.
“Our personnel immediately stormed the Fatima Event Centre, the venue of the illegal gathering, and successfully arrested 25 persons,” Aminudeen stated.
He added that the suspects, including the alleged groom, were from different parts of the state, such as Sheka, Yar Gaya, and Kofar Nassarawa.
Aminudeen cautioned that the Board would not tolerate any act capable of undermining the moral values of Kano State.
“We are calling on members of the public to support the Hisbah Board by reporting immoral activities across the state.
“The Board will continue to clamp down on such gatherings that promote immorality,” he said.
