The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has issued a stern warning against any groups suspected of advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights within the state, declaring a zero-tolerance policy.
The directive follows mounting tensions over alleged activities promoting same-sex marriage in Kano State, as disclosed by Baba Dantiye, the State Commissioner for Information, during a press briefing in Kano on Sunday.
Governor Abba Yusuf has instructed the Hisbah Board, responsible for upholding Islamic morality in the state, to investigate and take decisive actions against any groups found promoting LGBT rights.
