The Public Relations Officer of the Board, Dauda Hadejia, who disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, September 26, 2026 said the suspects were arrested following a complaint lodged by a 22-year-old man.

He explained that following the complaint, Hisbah operatives launched an investigation and began searching for the nine individuals mentioned by the complainant.


“Our men swung into action after receiving the complaint and so far eight suspects have been arrested, while efforts are ongoing to arrest the remaining suspect,” Hadejia said.


He added that during preliminary investigations, the eight arrested suspects reportedly admitted to having engaged in the act with the complainant


He noted that the Hisbah Corps had compiled relevant information and evidence for presentation before the court.


Hadejia quoted the Deputy Commander-General of the Jigawa State Hisbah Board, Dr Hussain Baban, as advising parents to be more vigilant about their children’s upbringing.


“Dr. Baban urged parents to pay greater attention to the upbringing of their children and monitor the people they associate with,” Hadejia said.


He also said the DCG called on members of the public to fear God and remain mindful of the consequences of their actions.


The PRO added that the investigation was still ongoing and the suspects would be charged to court upon completion of the investigation.


According to Hadejia, the DCG expressed appreciation to the Jigawa State Government for its support and cooperation with the Hisbah Board in carrying out its responsibilities.
