Usman said arrested persons would only be released upon provision of an exemption letter from a medical doctor or a proof of chronic ulcer.that upon provision of evidence by any arrested person, he or she would be released with a warning not to eat in public anymore.
The Sharia boss had during the week arrested several sex workers and criminals ahead of the holy month.Usman said, “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.” There have been several reports in the past about arrest of persons eating during the month of Ramadan.

U serious Reportage!!! Must you infect people's intelligence with issues that make no sense?
Smh
Why? Even if you are a Christian?
Are we all still in one country “Nigeria”, because this sounds foreign to my hearing? Something else is gradually coming into our system of nationhood, and Christians must be bent to obey all that. WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Christians has their own fasting without disturbing or forcing anyone not to eat why must your own be different CAN you must rise up and go against this it’s a choice to fast or not we only answer to God and not idiots like you.
The practice of religion can not be by compulsion but rather by conviction.
What kind of nonsense and madness is this? now somebody go say northerner leaders are not stupid, rigid and terrorist,they promote shit
The Holiness that rigged you into office must be preserved by fire and brimstone
Is Nigeria now a Muslim state?
This is nija
Will this not be a good time for all none Muslims in Kano state to relocate and allow them to do their sharia the way they want? Just asking!
Islamization of one region is loading and some glutton Christian leaders in Apc will argue that because of the money they do pack from the govt.
Sorry but this Sharia thing is being taken too far. Why should you arrest someone for eating in public? What if the person is not Muslim? Would they be arrested too?
When will the northern part of Nigeria embrace Secularism? Their Islamization gave birth to Boko Haram and extremist sects terrorizing the region and they implore us to waste resources from the south on fighting insurgents. Northern elites founded Boko haram
Why not engage these Police somewhere else? Set them after boko haram please.
May God punish you well well. Other places, others don't subject Muslims to their religious activities but when it comes to Muslim activities, people will die!?
They don start again, look at Boko haram and what is happening in Zamfara state it all starts this way
What a country!
Na by force, what of person way get ulcer? This man has gone gaga,where is human right and freedom of choice, even God no de by force anybody, Chai
What have they done with the man caught red-handed collecting dollarized bribe? Hypocrisy in display!
Where if I may ask
Hell No!!
AJStream take a look at this.
frediecruze fasting shouldn't be made by force but it should be by choice. meanwhile a reasonable muslims knows he or she is obliged to fast.
How nonsensical!
Very irresponsible. Is fasting by force?
😂😂😂😂
Hypocrisy of the highest order!
How did this man became a governor self? I swear juju Dey Ooo.
Ebi like say you na dey mad
Calm down baba
That's why Gandollar almost lost election.. is this even an issue? We have a very long way to go walahi
...and charge them with what?
Thank God it's Kano state
Freedom of worship is gradually becoming a mirage in Nigeria
Sey this one never madt like this? Oya take
We have sharia police in Nigeria? I thought the police was managed centrally by the Federal government? 🤔🙄
What’s sharia police? I don’t understand this country at all. When we talk about restructuring and state policing, all hell broke loose, now y’all have sharia court, sharia law and sharia police in Nigeria? RevolutionWillCorrectAllThisMistakes
God take control.
Sharia police? So we have sharia police in Nigeria now
Is this how it's done in Dubai that our people are running to on a daily basis? When we say the North has been a big problem to Nigeria, you think it's a joke.
Bad news for 'mama put' awon fast food people, hotels and other restaurants. Backward North.
What of people collecting dollar😆😆😆😆yeye
WomenVoiceNG You just not come near me, or you use your head to carry all the fraustrations caused by your hypocrisy.
This is pure Islamization.
You should thank God, no Sharia EFCC. I'm forced to bliv that Sharia police made for the poor & women.
How on earth does this thing work, combining secular policing & Islamic policing on same space?
When some state Governors here play some cheap political games, they know it has no future in the people’s welfare but to further blindfold the citizens and distract hem from the main thing.
Was posted to Jigawa state for NYSC. I noticed the corpers always shut the entrance to the compound when they wanted to pray and they always pray in low tones. I asked them why, they said that they will be attacked if their voices are heard praying. I applied for relocation.
When did Nigeria have sharia police?
Christians should be wary not to be insensitive to the sentiments of Muslims during Ramadan. At the same time the hisbah police should be careful to arrest only Muslims as Christians have no such obligation. DailyPostNGR GuardianNigeria daily_trust
We are gradually sliding into a sharia state
North is the problem of Nigeria. So backward and awkward
IFB
So all residents of Kano MUST fast!!! I wonder when this country will move forward with this type of mindset...
But the Sharia police forgot his address when he collected dollars
Northerners are in trouble, development will continue to elude them for a long time with these type of people at the helm of affairs.
Sharia police that failed to arrest the alleged looter caught stuffing his babariga with hard currency on camera. Chai Naija
Is it by force to fast ?
Freedom is an Illusion!!! SMH
Lol, so funny
And they did not arrest you when you were picketing millions of dollars.
What This religion of force Sha.....
With dollars inside your babaringa
Let them try it
It’s an Injustice as there is no compulsion in our Deen. Let us have Tolerance for others, in power today we might out of it tomorrow. Power is transient.
Kano Republic?
And what happens to people collecting 10% kickback during Ramadam? Hypocrisy won't kill us in this country. 🚶
Bunch of Akuya in government
You see why the country is not moving forward.... With the high level of poverty in Kano, you are still talking of arresting hungry people, do they even have food to eat.
Of all the problems that persists in the country......madness.
Thats the problem, the use of the word MUST.
Where were they when my guy Gandollar was stacking dollars inside his agbada?
imagin the fasting is not for anybody is the person that fast and his GOD you can not force some one to follow ur process every body has he or her own process to arived at thesame point
😂😂😂sharia police wuna don get work to do nw oyaaaaa
That's infringement on people's right.
This is bullshit
Chai... What are my still doing in this Country Biko?
Koni dafun lord luggard!
Oga Gov, if he/she eats within the closet of his/her room, how will Sharia police know? Face good governance, and ignore hypocrisy!
This is an infringement on their fundamental human rights. They should sue!!!
Another Day! Another Joke
No Islamic justification for this action. How can you just arrest people for eating. No even all muslims are fasting in the holy month. And how about Christians? They have the right to eat wherever and whenever they like! Sad 😔
Instead of being impeached for corruption he got rewarded with reelection.... Enjoy your mandate. What's next, shoot on sight anyone eating! Keep 'em comin' Dark Nation
We should be able to propagate what will unit us as a country than what will disorganise us. I'm highly disappointed with this content being advertised by the leadership
Cc Imamofpeace Is this the tolerance Islam preaches? Christians can’t eat cos Muslims are fasting?
Nigeria already half fcked with d implementation of Sharia criminal law in Nigeria constitution. We hv constitutional crisis & Northern States are using Constitutional loophole under the religion pretense to get away including child marriage & stoning woman to death on adultery.
It’s another indication that Kano government is devoid of competence and credibility to lead the people. Poor governance!
First of all how truth it’s about this news and if it’s true then the govt of Kano are wrong because there is no where in Islam that said you should arrest or attack people eating during fasting because even among the Muslims there those that r sick this is a wrong action taken.
this happens every year! and mind u this only applys to muslims only
Christians had theirs and not a single threat to one’s freedom but we all must fast because you’re fasting. Such hypocrisy!
NGRSenate HouseNGR NGRPresident PoliceNG states creating extremists. Wen d fall out wit d govt. 9geria wil be worst for it
What nonsense?
This is type of hypocrisy in reign of dethroned Sudanese president,while searches of his palace found numerous wines + gins, disguise agents
Is there no other religious people in Kano, is kano predominantly Muslim state. Or what is this all about.
Hear this one.
Good
What of Christians that living in your state? They will join Muslim to fast or they will hide inside their house or shops to eat food
This is the summary of governance in Nigeria today, enjoy 😋
...there is no compulsion in Islam...please go away with these ridiculous innovations...
Who is the shariah police? Are they an arm of the government?
Ok
Irrespective of their religion? This is trash!
Sharia police is not enshrined in our constitution. Why allow them to operate in Nigeria. Civilization is still far from Nigeria. If the right leaders are in place the nation will blossom. But for now, we are in the dark.
What of people eating in Government house and getting drunk?
Make una turn Nigeria to Muslim country.. Before was Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai..
WhatDaFack?
This shows that sharia law is in effect. By tomorrow another offshoot of the law will be announced. But Nigeria is a circular state not an Islamic country.
Kilode.... Even Islam didn't say that.
