Operatives of the Kano State Hisbah Board have arrested a 24-year-old man who was seen in a viral video licking the genitals of a goat.
The young man who has been arrested has been identified as Shamsu Yakubu. He is a resident of the Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area.
The young man was seen in the video instructing another person to record him while he was licking the gentials of the goat.
After his arrest, he disclosed that he did that to go viral online and also become famous.
During preliminary interrogation in Kano, the suspect denied actually licking the goat’s genitalia.
“I swear to Allah, I did not lick the goat. I only placed my mouth near the area,” Yakubu said while emphasizing that it was his first time involving himself in such act.
He further denied being under the influence of drugs or any intoxicating substances, but the Hisbah authorities have ordered psychiatric and drug evaluations to assess his mental and physical states.
The Deputy Commander-General of the Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminuddeen Abubakar, while reacting to the act said;
“It is tragic that a Muslim man would subject himself to such a disgraceful act, ignoring all religious and ethical values. This individual clearly lacks any proper understanding of Islam. His pursuit of cheap social media fame has led him into disgrace,” Sheikh Aminuddeen stated.
