11 Muslims have been reportedly arrested for eating during Ramadan
The Kano State Hisbah Board has apprehended 11 Muslims for violating the Ramadan fast by eating during the day.
VerseNews reports that the arrests were made during the annual Ramadan enforcement operations, which included searches of eateries and markets.
The board’s PRO, Lawal Ibrahim, who confirmed the arrests in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service monitored on Wednesday, said the arrests were made on Tuesday across the city, particularly near markets.
“The individuals arrested include 10 men and one woman, who was caught eating from her groundnut-selling stall,” he said. He explained that non-Muslims are exempted from such enforcement activities, but if found selling food during fasting hours to Muslims, they could be considered in violation.
“We apprehended 11 persons on Tuesday, including a lady selling groundnuts who was seen eating from her wares, after some persons alerted us. The other 10 persons were men and were arrested across the city.
