Operatives of the Kebbi Hisbah Board, under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, have arrested 25 youths in Argungu town for alleged involvement in immoral acts.
The Director of Shariah of the Board, Sirajo Kamba, confirmed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday.
He said: “On July 3, the Kebbi Hisbah Board carried out a raid at a hotel in Argungu and successfully apprehended 25 suspects allegedly involved in immoral activities.
“Those arrested include 12 males and 13 females.
“The operation is part of the board’s ongoing efforts to combat social vices, promote moral values, and maintain peace and decency across Kebbi,” he said.
Kamba added that the board would conduct a thorough investigation in accordance with the law, and anyone found culpable would face the appropriate legal process.
He added that the raid in the hotel seeks to ensure the safety of people, as hotels can also serve as a hiding place for criminal elements, even as he assured that justice will be served after thorough investigations.
