their guests to sign.
Here is what he wrote
"I was in Kano earlier this week to collect
material for a feature
I'm working on and checked into hotel where

hotels here
are required to sign such statements
because of random raids
by the Hisbah - the city's Islamic police force.

officers search the hotels looking for
single women,
who they always assume are
prostitutes".
