How I fooled Kano govt -woman dragged to court for giving birth a day after mass wedding

A Kano based woman identified as Habiba Inusa of Doguwa Gangare has been charged to court by the Kano State Government for giving birth a day after a mass wedding sponsored by the state government.

According to the Director General of Hisbah Board, Dr. Abba Sifu, Habiba who committed adultery and deliberately concealed her pregnancy, was arraigned before a Shari’ah court in Doguwa local government area of Kano state.

Following her arraignment in court, reports say the government confiscated all the room furniture and other items earlier given to her by government during the mass wedding exercise.“Habiba has confessed to the court that she was pregnant months before the mass wedding. She told the court that she deceived the officials assigned to test the couples by giving them her sister’s urine during the exercise.

“She told the court that she went to the venue of the screening with her sister’s urine which she concealed in her stomach and when it was her turn for the test, she presented her sister’s urine,” he said.

When probed, according to Dr. Sufi, Habiba confirmed that the pregnancy was not for her husband but that of another man identified as Kamalu.

“When the said Kamalu was invited, he confessed to have slept with the woman some months ago,” Dr Sufi said.

Recall that Habiba who is currently under the custody of the court in Doguwa local government area was among the 1, 520 couples married off by the Kano state government last week under its mass wedding programme
