Shamsu Yakubu, a 24-year-old resident of Dawakin Kudu, has been arrested by operatives of the Hisbah board in Kano State following the emergence of a disturbing video featuring him engaging in a disgusting act with a she-goat.
His actions have caused an outrage even within the community he resides in, leading to the involvement of the Hisbah Board, who apprehended him, saving him from being lynched by many who felt he wasn’t worth living after what he’d done.
The video clip which has gone viral on TikTok showed Shamsu performing an obscene act with the goat while instructing an unseen figure to record him.

He was arrested on Tuesday; in his defense, he claimed he was doing it to gain attention online and pleaded that it was his first time and that he wouldn’t do it again. Currently, community members have marked his acts as a disgrace to both cultural and religious norms.
The Hisbah Board, responsible for enforcing Sharia-compliant behavior in the state, has ordered comprehensive psychiatric and toxicology tests to determine Shamsu’s mental health and whether he was under the influence of drugs during the incident.
Deputy Commander-General of the Hisbah Board, Sheikh Mujahidden Aminuddeen Abubakar, condemned the act in strong terms:
“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,” he said.
