Operatives of the Kebbi State Hisbah Board have arrested 25 youths during a raid on a hotel in Argungu town over alleged involvement in immoral activities. The operation was carried out by the board under the state’s Ministry of Religious Affairs as part of efforts to curb social vices and promote moral values.
According to the Director of Shariah of the Board, Sirajo Kamba, those arrested include 12 males and 13 females. He said the raid was conducted on July 3 and forms part of the agency’s ongoing campaign to maintain peace, decency, and social order across Kebbi State.
Kamba added that the suspects would be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the law and that anyone found culpable would face the appropriate legal process.
The latest raid comes amid increased enforcement activities by the Hisbah Board, which has carried out similar operations in hotels across the state in recent months as part of its efforts to address what it describes as immoral conduct and other social vices.
