In a late-night operation in Kano city centre, the Kano State Hisbah Board arrested seven individuals suspected of cross-dressing. The raid, which targeted a popular social joint, is part of ongoing efforts by the board to enforce public morality and Islamic codes of conduct in the state.

Details about the identities of the suspects or their current legal status remain unclear. The incident highlights the continued vigilance of the Hisbah Board in monitoring social activities in Kano, a state known for its strict religious regulations.

Authorities have not yet released official statements regarding the arrests or the next steps in the investigation.

This latest operation underscores the tension between public morality enforcement and personal freedoms in northern Nigeria.
