Ramadan – Kano Sharia Police To Arrest Muslim Adults Seen Eating In Public
As Muslim faithfuls begin the yearly Ramadan fast today, May 6th, the Commander-General of Kano sharia police identified as Hisbah, Nabahani Usman has stated that his men will begin to arrest adults who are seen eating in public.
Nabahani Usman made it clear that the arrested persons would only be released if they can provide an exemption letter from a medical doctor or the person can show proof of chronic ulcer.
While speaking to newsmen, Usam said that when such a person has provided evidence of a medical condition that allows him/her to eat, he or she would be released with a warning not to eat in public anymore.

Nabahani Usman said in a statement:
“We do this kind of operation yearly and we will continue it this year. The aim is to get every Muslim to respect the month of Ramadan. Even if a doctor says you should not fast, that does not mean you should eat in public while others are fasting.
“So any Muslim that we apprehend eating outside, our men will arrest and bring the person to our office unless he can show proof that a doctor asked him not to fast.”
