Hisbah commander in the state, Ibrahim Dahiru, stated this after the destruction of the bottles of alcoholic drinks in the Kazaure Local Government Area of the state. 

 

Dahiru said the exercise was conducted following a court verdict authorising the destruction of the alcohol he claimed was worth N3.2 million.

 

He added that the command will sustain the fight against the sale and consumption of alcoholic drinks statewide, to ensure the safety and wellness of residents.

 

“Within weeks, we have seized alcoholic drinks totalling 5,550 bottles and cans worth N3.2 million,” he said.

 

“Islam forbids alcohol consumption and all other intoxicants that can distort the mental capability of humans, thus, the Hisbah is committed to ensuring the good mental health of residents of the state.

 

“In Islam, alcohol is strongly forbidden. The law of the Jigawa State Government has prohibited the trading and consumption of alcohol.”
