A resident of the Sosun Magu area has begun a hunger strike at police headquarters, protesting the nuisance caused by an individual using drugs in the neighbourhood.

While the nuisance caused by an individual named Ahmed Faris in that area has persisted for many days, residents living in that area have continuously lodged complaints regarding the matter.

In H. Kashima Hingun and Doohimeri Magu, Faris has been harassing and taunting pedestrians and drivers along that road. Videos of him shouting at certain individuals and throwing objects have also been made public previously. He has also been out dressed in a manner contrary to general social standards.

While numerous reports regarding him have been received by the police, the police state that action has been taken against him on various occasions. It is reported that he has been arrested approximately 30 times.

Mohamed Saeed, who began the strike at the police headquarters, stated that the nuisance from Faris has been ongoing for over a year, and that after reporting it to the police, he has endured it for many days. However, he stated that relief from the nuisance has not been attained.

Saeed also stated that after gathering sufficient evidence, those materials were shared with the police.

Saeed began his strike this morning at the Adam Haleem Building located in Henveiru. While media outlets had also reported the matter, Faris, who had become a public nuisance, was arrested.

Following his arrest, the police requested Saeed to conclude the strike. However, Saeed stated that he has no trust in the system and will not stop his strike.
