8 cross-dressers bags jail term
A Kano State Sharia Court on Tuesday, October 31, sentenced eight cross-dressers to three-month imprisonment at a Correctional Centre.
They were arrested by the Kano State Hisbah Board during a wedding in Kofar Waika in the Gwale LGA of the state.
According to the board, the suspects were arrested following a tip-off by good Samaritans that young men dressed in female Fulani attire attended and were dancing at a wedding.
They were later arraigned before the Hisbah Shari’a Court where they plead guilty to the offense.
The presiding Judge, Khadi Tanimu-Sani, ordered that each of them should receive 10 lashes of cane, pay a fine of N20,000 each, and produce one surety or face imprisonment in a correctional facility for three months.
