The Kano State Sharia Police, on Thursday January 30,2025, said it is presently hot on the heels of guests at an illegal wedding Fatiha on Wednesday night.
This is just as it announced the arrest of the bride and the groom ,for holding the solemnization of their union at a restaurant in the commercial city without the express consent of their parents .
The Deputy Commander General of the Hisbah Board, Dr Mujahideen Abubakar, said, for choosing to conduct their marriage at an eatery, and without the presence and approval of their parents, the couple has violated all known sharia laws on solemnization of relationships.
According to him, the couple held their marriage ceremony at one Banana Restaurant located along Zoo road ,within the heart of the commercial hub of the Northern region on Wednesday night January 29.
The Deputy head of the Kano Sharia law enforcement agency noted that operatives, based on credible intelligence, raided the restaurant and effected the arrest of the couple.
Dr Abubakar informed that efforts are underway to track down all the guests and accomplices in the unholy marital ceremony.
“It is very unfortunate to tell you that the solemnization of the purported marriage was conducted at the restaurant by friends of the man without the consent of the parents of the couple”, the Deputy Hisbah chief lamented
He has, therefore, warned that the board will not sit by idly and watch as some unscrupulous characters undermine all known societal values and norms
Accordingly, he vowed that no efforts will be spared in ensuring that all those who aided and participated in the barefaced marriage ceremony are arrested and brought to justice”
