Kano Moves to Criminalise Same-Sex Marriage, ‘Immoral Practices’

The Kano State Government has approved the transmission of a bill to the House of Assembly seeking to criminalise same-sex marriage and other practices deemed immoral in the state. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf gave the approval during the 31st Executive Council meeting held at the Government House Annexe in Kwankwasiyya City, according to a statement issued Friday by his spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa. Kano, one of Nigeria’s most populous northern states, operates under Sharia law alongside the Nigerian Constitution. Since the early 2000s, when Sharia was formally introduced, successive administrations have enforced strict regulations on morality, culture, and religion. Nigeria already prohibits same-sex unions under the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act of 2014, which prescribes up to 14 years in prison. However, northern states like Kano often pursue stricter enforcement aligned with Islamic teachings. The governor emphasised his administration’s resolve to uphold […]
