Followers of Islams are fasting this period of 29 days and eating in the public in some parts of the North is seen as an intention to spite followers of Islam, Joseph Zaka, a Muslim said.

Recall that Naija News had reported that the Sharia Police (Hisbah) in Kano state has vowed to arrest Muslims who boycott the full practice of fasting throughout this Ramadan season.
