A Guinean woman, Sayyada Fanta Sangaré, has been arrested after she went viral for praying atop a body of water in the Western Province.
She was said to have visited the sea and dropped a prayer rug on the surface while she stood on it to pray as beachgoers watched in awe. Fans believed she had the supernatural powers to defy gravity and be able to pray on water.
It was discovered that Fanta actually placed her prayer mat on a wood on the shallow part of the sea.
Defending herself, Fanta said, "This is not a big deal to her because she and the water are all servants of Allah, and as long as a man will fear Allah and obey Allah and his prophet and pray for Allah and His prophet and pray for him, Allah can do everything He obeyed him, including water and fire.
According to Africans, Taouyah special police arrested Fanta on Thursday, June 22, 2023. However, police officials who arrested the lady later clarified that her offense was not connected to her having prayed on the waves.
"Her act is not an offense." Why arrest her for that?" a senior police official was quoted as saying.
The officer added, "She is there (at the police station), of course, but that is for another matter. It is a complaint brought against her by a citizen." Africaguinee reports that investigations revealed there was a complaint filed against Fanta by someone, but police did not disclose the reason for the complaint.
