Kano State Government Bans Men, Women From Swimming In Same Pool

The Kano State Government has banned men and women from swimming in the same pool, smoking shisha, and entry of children into hotels.

The ban was announced by the Kano State Task Force on Tourism Development Levy. The agency also banned shisha smoking, lesbianism and gay practices in the state.

The Chairman of the Committee, Baffa Babba Dan-agundi, made this known to newsmen after a meeting with the owners of hotels, restaurants, and event centres in the state.

He said: “Part of our term of reference is to stop underage children from entering hotels without their parents, banning shisha smoking, swimming between men and women in the pool, lesbianism and gay practices.

The committee will further oversee the activities of DJs at wedding ceremonies and event centres. All events centres should be closed by 11 pm.”

The committee informed them of a new levy by the state government that will help in sanitizing their places of business for the purpose of avoiding acts of prostitution in the state.
