Nabahani Usman who is the commander-general of the Kano Hisbah has said that his men will begin to arrest adults caught eating in public during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Speaking with BBC, the Hisbah boss 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."
