It was gathered that the two people (names withheld)
committed the act on an open field inside the motor park, neglecting
people in the motor park who were keenly watching them.
When their action became a public embarrassment, some
motorists and officials of the NURTW quickly alerted officials of State Hisbah
commission who rushed and whisked the culprits away.
According to one official of Hisbah (Sharia Police) who
pleaded anonymity, the two immoral offenders disregarded the attention of the
public, and went ahead with their shameless affair till some Hisbah operatives
stormed the park and arrested them.
“The man and woman who publicly had an immoral act in the garage could not defend themselves for the public shame they brought upon themselves, signifying that they are morally corrupt.
“The two offenders were seen at the Hisbah commission blaming each other for the the offence they had committed,” he said.
It was also gathered that the officials of the State Hisbah
Commission have already arraigned the two accused persons before the City
Higher Shariah Court in Kankuri, Gusau.
The Hisbah operative, who spoke with reporters, said “the
Sharia law will be applied to the case, either for fornication or adultery
because their acts contravened Islamic laws and the cultural traditions of the
people of the State.”
“Though in Islamic law, there is a difference between adultery and fornication with different sentences”, he added.
