Alcohol remains prohibited in Jigawa – Hisba seizes 78 cartons
The Jigawa State Hisbah Board says importation, sale and consumption of alcohol remain prohibited in the state.
Commandant of the board, Ibrahim Dahiru disclosed this on Thursday while responding to questions from newsmen.
He said the move was part of the state government’s commitment to reform the board and reduce social vices in the state.
Ibrahim explained that in continuation of its operations, the command seized 78 cartons of assorted alcoholic drinks in Kazaure Local Government Area.
He said the alcohol was seized at three beer parlours during an early morning raid in the area.
The commander said no arrest was made during the operation, as suspected owners fled before the arrival of the Hisbah personnel.
He noted that the command would continue to enforce the order and arrest violators.
Ibrahim said the confiscated items would soon be taken to court.
