Two teenagers, Aminu Iliyasu (boy) and Safiya Umar (girl) have been remanded in prison after they were caught having sex in front of a hotel in Katsina in broad daylight.

According to Tribune, the duo, who have been lovers for three years, dared each other to have sex in public while damning its consequences.

Passersby who stopped to watch the illicit scene arrested them and handed them over to the police.

When their case was mentioned in court during the week, the prosecuting police inspector, Mohammed Usman, told the Upper Sharia court that some concerned citizens of the state caught the two lovebirds having sex around 4:00 p.m. in front of a popular hotel in the state.

The accused persons who pleaded guilty to the charge when they were brought to the court, however, begged for leniency.

The Sharia judge, Ibrahim Korau, then remanded the suspects and adjourned the case to 21 March for hearing.
