The Bauchi State Sharia Police, Hisbah, has invited a 60-year-old man, Bala Muhammad, for questioning after he posted photos on social media featuring women he allegedly had affairs with.
According to DAILY POST, Muhammad appeared in nearly 30 photos with various women, many of whom were middle-aged and dressed in revealing outfits.
The images have stirred reactions on social media, with some users advising married men in Bauchi to guard their wives against Bala Muhammad who appeared to be a ‘chronic womanizer’.
But in a phone interview with our reporter on Friday, the Public Relations Officer of the State Hisbah, Muhammad Muhammad Bununu, confirmed that the Commission received several complaints about Bala Muhammad from the families of the women involved.
Consequently, the Commission invited Muhammad for questioning to investigate the matter further.
“He was initially detained by the Police, but we requested his release on Thursday for our investigation. He has since been returned to Police custody,” Bununu stated.
According to the PRO, Muhammed, during his interview with Hisbah, explained that the videos he posted on Facebook were taken roughly 20 years ago when most of the women were unmarried.
He expressed regret and sought forgiveness from the women and their families.
Muhammad, who is over 60 years old, said he is unmarried and has no children.
The native of Dass LGA, who currently resides in Bauchi city, disclosed that his brother was the one who informed him of the viral photos before his arrest and transfer to Hisbah.
