Eight Crossdressers Arrested During A Wedding In Kano

No fewer than eight suspected cross-dressers have been arrested by the Kano Hisbah Board during a wedding in Kofar Waika in Gwale Local Government Area of the state.

The development was conveyed to the press on Tuesday by the Deputy Commander General of the Board, Dr. Mujaheed Aminudeen-Abubakar.

Following a tip-off by good Samaritans that young men dressed in female Fulani attire attended and were dancing at a wedding, the board swung into action immediately.

He said, “Our officials on receiving the information, went to the venue of the wedding ceremony and apprehended eight young men, including the groom, dressed in full female Fulani attire, dancing to music in their regalia.”

The board, established in 2000, is saddled with the responsibilities of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong in Islamic ways and manners.
