Naija News had earlier reported that Men of the Nigeria Police Force in Kano have arrested a Hisbah commander with a woman inside a hotel.
The Shariah police official was caught with the married woman inside a hotel room at Sabon Gari area of Kano.
Rimo is said to be in charge of apprehending beggars and pr0stitutes in the state.
The Hisbah officer was arrested by the state police command when the husband of the woman he was allegedly having an affair with filed complaints.
The Shariah police are known for arresting unmarried people caught in hotels, presumably for $eCual activities, as part of their enforcement of the Sharia.
They are also notorious for destroying truckloads of alcoholic drinks.
