Sunday, November 3, 2024 - The Bauchi State Hisbah Board has arrested an elderly man who went viral after posting multiple photos of his ex-girlfriends.
The man identified as
Alhaji Bala Mohammed, from the Dass local government area of Bauchi State is
the talk of social media after the photos of him together with over 50 women,
many of them in compromising positions, went viral.
Word has it that Bala was
arrested after some of his former girlfriends who are now married, reported him
to the board.
Mohammed, however, said he
has regretted hurting Muslims in northern Nigeria who might have found his
lifestyle despicable.
Speaking at the Bauchi
Hisbah Board office, Mohammed said he was enjoying his life and no one has the
right to stop him, since the country is a secular state.
He went on to disclose
that some of the pictures were taken 20 years ago when he was enjoying his
leisure time, and it was his Facebook friends who shared the old memory
recently.
“I took some pictures 20
years ago with the women I dated for pleasure and to express my enjoyment. So,
some people now discovered the pictures and began to reshare them, a situation
that caused discomfort to the women in the pictures," said Bala
According to him, he
shared the pictures years back but none of the women complained until now,
saying “Maybe it is some people who are instigating them.”
“I’m extending my
apologies to the women who were offended but everyone has his own way of life.
I did it because of pleasure and I’m living a secular life, not a religious
one," he said.
Bala, who dismissed claims
that the women were married when they dated, insisted that none of them was
married and dared them to prove him wrong, maintaining that he had no remorse
over what happened
“Even though I am old, I want to get married to have even two children
before I die. My only regret is that my people in the north who are religious
are hurt by this but am enjoying my secular life,” he added.
