Police officer advises Muslims

The Nima Divisional Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) of the Ghana Police Service, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Hajia Sa-ada M. Muhammed, has appealed to Muslims in Ghana to use the holy month of Ramadhan to champion forgiveness, love and unity towards each other.

She made this call during an Iftar event to break the fast at the residence of the National Chief Iman, Dr. Sheikh Nuhu Osman Sharubutu, where she said that seeking nearness to Allah in this holy month is also an opportune time to redirect the heart from worldly activities and cleanse the soul by freeing it from harmful impurities.

“There is no test of discipline than fasting in Ramadhan and I take this opportunity to advice all of us to be self-disciplined and also exercise self-control whiles extending our empathy to the less fortunate” she said.

Hajia Sa-ada who coordinates the security arrangements of the National Chief Imam during religious events in Ghana explained that Islam means peace and submission to the will of Allah and she therefore urged Muslims and Ghanaian in general to cherish and rebrand the peace that Ghana enjoys as the country prepares for the upcoming general elections in November.

She is the recipient of awards from the Humanity Magazine titled ‘Women Bravado’ for her continuous eye catching skilful displays on motorbikes during 6th March celebrations to mark Ghana’s independence at the Independence Square in Accra.
