The Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Alhaji Yusuf Hassan Yusuf, while parading the suspects to newsmen, said the accused comprised of nine females and five males.
He said the suspects were arrested as their immoral activities contradict the teachings of Islam.
Yusuf said some of the suspects would be handed over to security agencies for prosecution, while others would be taken to Islamic clerics for counselling.
