Kebbi Hisbah Releases Women Detained for Indecent Dressing

The Kebbi Hisbah Board released two women who had been detained for allegedly dressing indecently in the Badariya area of Birnin Kebbi. Surajo Usman, the Director of the Kebbi Hisbah Board, confirmed the release following a complaint received on Friday, May 8, from residents who reported that the women were dressed inappropriately outside their homes.

The Hisbah office conducted an investigation and verified the allegations, leading to the women's arrest. During interrogation, the women admitted that there was no malicious intent behind their clothing choices, explaining that the extreme heat had prompted them to wear lighter clothing for relief.

Usman noted that the women expressed remorse and pledged not to repeat the act. He emphasized the Hisbah Board's commitment to upholding moral modesty and respecting community values, advising the women to conduct themselves decently moving forward.

Usman also urged the public to promote good moral conduct and cooperate with authorities to maintain peace and moral discipline in the community.
