The Kirikasamma Local Government Area of Jigawa State, on Monday, enacted a bye-law banning of the opposite sex from meeting at night.

The local government said this was due to rampant cases of out of wedlock pregnancy among girls.

The local government information officer, Sanusi Doro, said the council chairman, Salisu Kubayo, signed the law after ten councilors of the local government area unanimously agreed to it during a council meeting.

According to the new law, henceforth, of the opposite sex (even lovers) found violating the law would be sentenced to six months in prison with an option of N50,000 fine.

Mr Doro said true lovers can only meet during the day to discuss. The g of the law was done in a ceremony widely attended by residents of the area including the chief imam of the community.

Also, the leader of the local government’s councillors, Sa’idu Marma, said enacting the law becomes paramount following growing complaints from parents about incidences of out of wedlock pregnancy allegedly due to the night meetings and discussion between the opposite sexes.

Mr Marma added that as leaders they would be held responsible for the success as well as failure in the council area. He said fornication and unwanted pregnancy among girls is a major challenge bedeviling the council area which necessitated the enactment of the law.

Also at the event, the Chief Imam of Kirikasamma local government, Ali Liman, lamented the alien tradition of boys and girls frequently partying at various locations in the council area. He said this has resulted in many immoral activities between the opposite genders.

Mr Liman commended the council chairman on the new law. He said it would help in addressing the social vices which have become a nightmare for parents in the council area.

At the event, none of the officials discussed why modern family planning techniques, such as access to contraceptives, was not considered as an alternative to the unplanned pregnancies.

Jigawa, in North-western Nigeria, like most parts of the region, is a largely conservative state whose residents are predominantly Muslims.

The new law in the Jigawa council area comes days after Kano State banned of the opposite sex from boarding the same commercial tricycles.

Very annoying set of people. So you people can't meet during broad day light and still have sex.

What now happens to the right to freedom of movement? What of a banker that closes late from work and decides to visit his/her lover?

Anyway the laws in Nigeria are meant to oppress and suppress the poor.

Instead of thinking ahead on possible ways to bring out the populace from poverty.

Just see the name of the local government like one botanical name of a specie of plant weed

What happened to condom ?

So they can't meet and have sex in the afternoon, right?

WTF?? See the idiocy of the kind of civilisation down the core north?

So sex can only happen at night abi? Nonsense

See, it doesn't take more than two minutes to impregnate a woman unless the woman is not ovulating at the time of of the sexual activity or there are other factors preventing the pregnancy.

I know a guy living with his wife, mother, sister,two brothers n the wife's daughter from an earlier marriage in one room. The room is always occupied with people inside 24/7. I was surprised when the wife got pregnant n I was asking myself when n how did he do it? Abi him put am for cup come pour am in?


This bye-law is not the solution to teenage pregnancy. Even the teenage ones down south wey we dey teach sex education dey carry belle talkless of people wey dem no teach at all. Even America with all their education system, teenage pregnancy be like water. There should look for another solution n not ban people from doing uwamgbedekanma biko

Na gay dey rein now ooo

We pay too much attention to irrelevances in this country.
The last time was Kano banning male and female inside public transport

Mr Doro said true lovers can only meet during the day to discuss.

In 2020 ?!

Damnnnnn niggarrr

What a place

Naija! Backwards ever

Stupidity seems to be a natural resources up North well we practice a Federation style of government with Federating units .. so what ever suits them up north let them do to themselves

The Problem with this is that countries with stupid conservative and crazy laws seem to have crazy cases of rape, teenage pregnancy and other vices than Liberal countries like US and UK.. the best thing to cob these is simply through eligntenement on the consiquencies of unwanted pregnancy, legalised medical abortion, contraceptives and many civilised method


.

Useless people whose brains are backward compactible . See wetin dem dey prioritise

The way these people think is mind boggling!

Misplaced priorities.

Why stop two adults from having a consensual meeting at any time of their choice?

Does it mean that all other pressing issues like employment, security and roads have been taken care of within the LGA?

How come we are still thinking this way, even in this 21st Century?

I can't hold it any longer buhahahahahahaha

Good for them

In the North lovers usually met at Night in the woman's House known as "hira" or Zance in Hausa
Many people are now using that avenue for immoral activities hence the Local Government ban it.
True and decent people will not be afraid to visit their woman during the day

Nice Development

Haters have already started Masturbating over this law as if it was enacted in their village.
It is our law, for our society and we are OK with it

This north no get sense, walahi!

Unfortunately, other regions of Nigeria share in this same type of stupidity, but on different level.

Common law or decree for Nigeria to have 24 hours electricity, dem no go enforce. Na foolish, outdated law with no relevance to life or modern civilization na im dem go dey carry for head!!

Good, great development and world-class advancement going on in the North...

Wonder how this is going to apply to Corps

Hypocritical skunks..Ndi ala

Hipocrisy.. Very people dat are into drug, underaged marriages and even incest are here claming islamic doctrines.. If u like prohibit men from looking women, it ur own cup of tea

Lmao. Very hilarious law. Unfortunately it won’t cure the mischief meant to be cured.

Aboki news is always heading to yaba left.

O boy!Small small naija don turn Sharia.
SHITHOLE!Let it burn if you ask me

This northern states ehh. These people marry under aged, marries more than four wives with licensed, drug abused is more rampant in this areas according to stat, gay relationships so numerous but yet, their laws are so stiff u wonder if they ever commit any crime!!
