  "summary": "The Hisbah Command in Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State has apprehended a man for allegedly engaging in an illicit relationship with his former wife, who is now married to someone else. This revelation was made in a statement by the agency’s spokesperson, M. Maidoki. According to the statement, the woman reportedly deserted her marital home, informing her current husband that she was going to retrieve her mobile phone. She later encountered the suspect at a secluded spot, which raised suspicions, leading to the involvement of the Hisbah authorities. The investigation, conducted under the supervision of the Dutsinma Hisbah Commander, Malam Shafiu Ibrahim, confirmed that the suspect was the woman's former husband. The details surrounding their meeting are currently under scrutiny by the authorities.",
