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.

However, northern states like Kano often pursue stricter enforcement aligned with Islamic teachings. The governor emphasised his administration’s resolve to uphold […]
