The Kano State Hisbah Board has uncovered health conditions among intended couples, including HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, as well as those carrying an early pregnancy ahead of the consummation of a state-sponsored mass wedding.
The spokesperson of Hisbah Board, Lawan Fagge said the persons were found with one or the other health issues at the point of pre-marital test screening they were subjected to as part of the criteria for intending couples to partake in the state-sponsored wedding.
Fagge said the persons have since been replaced in the ongoing exercise but then subjected to counselling and given medications.
