Muslim Youths Stab
Christian Man For Eating
During Ramadan Fasting
The incident was said to have occurred at
2:30pm on Tuesday when Emmanuel was
eating in his workshop and the youths who
suddenly appeared from nowhere started
attacking him for eating on the afternoon
of Ramadan.
Speaking with journalists on his hospital
bed, the carpenter said, “It happened
around 2:30pm at Sokoto Road, Kakuri, on
Tuesday, when I went to the market to buy
wood to do some work.
“So, when I came back, I bought food to
eat. As I was eating, about six Hausa boys
came to ask me if I am a Muslim or a
Christian, but I did not answer them. They
asked why I was not fasting, then, I told
them that I am not a Muslim. Before I
know it, one of them slapped me. As I
stood up, the rest came and surrounded me
and started attacking me with knives.”
