We’ll Deal With Muslims Who Eat In Public During Ramadan Fasting Period – Hisbah Warns

The Kano State Hisbah Board has threatened to deal with Muslim faithful who eat in public during the Holy month of Ramadan.

The Public Relations Officer of the Board, Ibrahim Lawan, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, said the Islamic police has deployed personnel to mosques to ensure the safety of lives and property during the Ramadan fasting period.

“Hisbah corps will visit mosques during Iftar, Tarawih, Tahajjud prayers to protect worshippers and their property from unpatriotic elements,” the Commander-General of the board, Dr Harun Ibn-Sina said.

“Those who engage in societal vices during this sacred month will be dealt with. Some of the youths who eat in the public during fasting period will not be spared either,” he said.

Ibn-Sina called on the general public to assist orphans and the needy, in a bid to give succor to their suffering. He added that clothing, food items, grains, water, and cash, could also be given to those in need.

Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has enjoined Muslims to “have our dear country in mind” as they ask for the forgiveness of the country’s numerous shortcomings and transgressions as they commence 30 days of Ramadan fasting.
