The Kano Hisbah Board has arrested nine Muslims for allegedly eating in public on the first day of Ramadan.
Hisbah’s Deputy Commander, Mujahid Aminudeen, who disclosed this in a statement said the suspects, including two women and seven men where arrested on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
He explained that they were apprehended after being seen eating food in broad daylight, contrary to the rules of fasting.
“We arrested them and they are with us, where we will teach them the importance of fasting, how to pray and read the Qur’an, and how to become good Muslims,” Aminudeen said.
He, however, did not disclose when the arrested individuals will be released.
Kano, a predominantly Muslim state, operates Islamic law alongside Nigeria’s civil laws. Each Ramadan, Hisbah officials monitor food outlets and markets to ensure compliance with fasting regulations.
While restaurants continue to operate in some areas with significant Christian populations, Muslims are prohibited from eating between sunrise and sunset during the holy month.
