The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested a couple for solemnizing their marriage at Banana Restaurant on Zoo Road, Kano, without their parents’ consent.

Dr. Mujahideen Abubakar, Deputy Commander General of Operations, confirmed the arrest, stating, “It’s very unfortunate to tell you that the solemnisation of the purported marriage was conducted in the restaurant by friends of the man without the consent of the parents of the couple.”

According to Dr. Abubakar, the couple’s actions were deemed a “flagrant violation of the Shari’a” as they violated all marriage conditions.

The board has launched a manhunt for guests who participated in the illegal ceremony.

“We arrested the couple. We are trailing friends of the groom who fled the restaurant after our personnel stormed the place,” Dr. Abubakar added.

Dr. Abubakar warned that the board will not tolerate such violations, saying, “We will not fold our arms and allow some undesirable elements to continue to violate the shari’a in the state.”
