Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Sharada community in Kano State has introduced 29 new local laws to curb rising crime and immoral activities.<\/p>\n

One of the rules bans boyfriend-girlfriend meetings after 10 p.m.<\/p>\n

Announcing the decision, the village head, Alhaji Iliyasu Muazu Sharada, said the laws were agreed upon after discussions with ward heads and community elders.<\/p>\n

The new regulations also include a ban on lovers meeting in tinted vehicles and restrictions on horse riding during wedding celebrations.<\/p>\n

In addition, lawyers and house agents must get approval from the village head before renting out any property.<\/p>\n

Community elders said the rules are meant to improve security, pointing out that criminals often use late-night meetings and tinted cars as a cover for robbery and sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have arrested men pretending to be with girlfriends, only to discover they were engaged in immoral or criminal acts,\u201d said Alhaji Abdullahi Bello, a resident.<\/p>\n

He added that the measures would help separate genuine couples from those with bad intentions.<\/p>\n

Sharada, which has both residential and industrial areas, has been facing more security problems in recent times.<\/p>\n

Elders believe the new laws will help restore moral values and protect young people from bad influences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot allow activities that lead to immorality or crime. This is a good step to protect our youth,\u201d the village head stressed.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of Kano Municipal Local Government, Salim Hashim, backed the decision and promised full enforcement, calling the laws important for community safety.<\/p>\n
