Officials from the Zamfara State Hisbah Commission and Shariah Board have arrested a middle-aged man and woman for allegedly being caught making love in public at a commercial car park in the state capital, Gusau.
The couple are said to have been caught having sex in an open field at Motorpark in full light from passers-by.
According to PR Nigeria, a Hisbah (Shariah police) officer, who asked for anonymity, said the two “lovemakers” ignored public attention and continued their amorous affair until some Hisbah commanders stormed their park.
He said: “The man and woman who publicly had sex in the garage had first bragged to each other about who was ‘more morally corrupt’.
They both claimed to be “cheekier” than the other.
And in the process, they dared each other to strip and have sex in the glare of publicity.”
The Zamfara Hisbah Commission has indicted the two “depraved lovers” at the city’s High Sharia Court in Kankuri, Gusau.
“The Hisbah has already charged the two public sex offenders in court and we expect Sharia law to be applied to the case, either for fornication or adultery because their actions violate Islamic laws and the cultural traditions of the people of the state,” said the Said a Hisbah official.
