Islamic police in northern Nigeria's Kano state will begin enforcing Sharia law.
Ten thousand officers will be on the streets making
sure all citizens, including Christians, adhere to the strict Islamic
legal code.
Law enforcement has orders to arrest anyone wearing
"indecent dress" such as sleeveless T-shirts and pants that cut off just
below the knee.
They'll also be watching the city's small, motorized rickshaw taxis for men and women traveling together.
Kano is one of nine states in northern Nigeria that
has introduced Shariah law. Southern Nigeria is mostly Christian and is
ruled by secular law.
