Speaking in an interview with newsmen in Kano, a senior member of Hisbah, Lawan Ibrahim stated that the youths were arrested when they gathered to witness the wedding of two suspected gays; Abba and Mujahid.
According to him, “A man hinted the board about the illicit marriage and said he sighted some youths who came for the wedding.
