Hisbah burns over 5,550 bottles of alcohol worth N3.2million in Jigawa

The Hisbah in Jigawa State has burnt over 5,550 bottles of alcohol worth N3.2million.

The commandant of Hisbah in the State, Ibrahim Dahiru, made this revelation after destruction of the alcohol in Kazaure local government.

He revealed that the alcohol was intercepted in the command’s ongoing operations in the state.

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

Dahiru said Hisbah has conducted the exercise after receiving a court verdict authorising the destruction of the alcohol.

He noted that the destruction of alcohol was in line with Islamic teachings that forbid the consumption of alcohol and all other intoxicants.

The commandant has given an assurance that the command will continue to fight against the immoral act across the state.
