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

 

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

 

Speaking after the exercise in Kazaure Local Government Area of the state, the head of the Hisbah command in Jigawa, Ibrahim Dahiru, said the alcoholic drinks were intercepted during the command’s ongoing operations. 

"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,” Mr Dahiru said.

 

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

 

Mr Dahiru said the command will sustain the fight against the immoral act statewide, to ensure the safety and wellness of the residents.

Mr Muktar also pledged to empower the Hisbah with additional operation vehicles to make them more effective.

 

Also, at the event, the Emir of Kazaure, Najib Husseini-Adamu, said the emirate council will always support the Hisbah in dealing with immoral activities in the Emirates.

 

The Emir was represented by Umar Tafida, who holds the traditional title of ‘Iyan Kazaure’.
