Hisbah arrests man hidden in “Ghana-must-go” bag at married woman’s house in Kebbi

Operatives of the Hisbah Board in Kebbi State have arrested a man who was discovered hiding inside a “Ghana Must-Go” bag at the residence of a married woman in the Badariya area of Birnin Kebbi.

The arrest was confirmed in a statement released to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday by the Director of Sharia at the board, Sirajo Kamba.

According to Kamba, residents of the area raised alarm and alerted Hisbah officials at about 12:15 a.m. on Monday, May 18, after observing suspicious movement around 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.

He further explained that the woman later allowed a thorough search of the premises, which led to the shocking discovery of the man concealed inside a ‘Ghana Must-Go’ bag.

Kamba added that investigations suggested the two were involved in a romantic relationship, which prompted the incident.

He also stated that both individuals reportedly admitted to the allegation during questioning, and they are expected to be charged in court to face proceedings under Islamic law. (NAN)
