Be careful whom you talk to in the northern city of Kano. Sharia, or Islamic law, was introduced in Kano state in November and hundreds of people have been arrested in the city for talking to members of the opposite sex. When questioned by police, detainees have been asked whether they’re practicing prostitution or adultery, but most were simply talking with each other. Paying a small bribe, however, is usually enough to be released.
