The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested 19 persons, including 12 women and seven men, at a hotel identified as ICU in the Nassarawa GRA area of Kano over alleged involvement in immoral activities.
The Deputy Commander General of the Board, Dr. Mujahid Aminuddeen, disclosed the development in a statement issued on Tuesday, July 28, 2026.
According to him, preliminary findings revealed that some of the suspects were visitors from other states and not residents of Kano.
He also expressed concern over the alleged practice of allocating hotel rooms to underage youths.
Aminuddeen said investigations were ongoing to ascertain the level of involvement of those arrested before further legal action is taken.
He explained that suspects found culpable would be prosecuted, while first-time offenders would undergo counselling, after which their parents or guardians would be invited to take custody of them.
