Nigeria state segregates travel

[ConfuZed]

*sigh* This is why religion has no place in any government

The authorities in the northern Nigerian state of Kano have imposed a ban on Muslim men and women travelling together on public transport.

They say the ban is in accordance with Sharia law.

Men and women-only buses and motorcycle taxis were paraded in a mass rally at a stadium in the city of Kano.

Kano is one of several Muslim majority states that adopted Sharia law in 2000, a move which led to inter-religious riots that left thousands dead.
