Kebbi Hisbah Arrests Man Hidden in “Ghana Must-Go” Bag at Married Woman’s Home

Operatives of the Hisbah Board, an agency under the Kebbi State Ministry of Religious Affairs, have arrested a man allegedly found hiding inside a “Ghana Must-Go” bag at the residence of a married woman in the Badariya area of Birnin Kebbi.

The Director of Sharia at the board, Sirajo Kamba, confirmed the arrest in a statement issued to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday, May 19, 2026.

Kamba said residents alerted the Hisbah Board around 12:15 am on Monday, May 18, after noticing a man entering the woman’s house. He added that the residents suspected an illicit relationship contrary to Islamic teachings and reported it to the authorities.

According to Kamba, the board quickly deployed officers to investigate. He said officers requested permission to search the home, but the woman initially denied that anyone was inside. Later, she allowed a thorough search, which reportedly led to the discovery of the suspect concealed in a “Ghana Must-Go” bag.

The director further stated that investigations allegedly revealed a romantic relationship between the man and the married woman. He said both suspects, after interrogation, admitted to the allegations and would be arraigned in court for proceedings under Islamic law.
