KANO, Nigeria (AFP) – Islamic police smashed 80,000 bottles of beer in the Nigerian city of Kano on Tuesday to enforce a sharia law ban on consumption of alcohol that exists in much of the country's north.
Over a dozen veiled female sharia police, called Hisbah, destroyed the beer bottles with sticks amid shouts of "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) on the outskirts of the northern city in a ceremony.
The ceremony was attended by government officials as part of "efforts to rid the state of immorality," said Kano state Hisbah chief Saidu Dukawa. Kano city is the capital of the state by the same name.
"The sale and consumption of alcohol, like all forms of drugs and intoxicants, is illegal in Kano state, which practices sharia law and by this event we are enforcing that ban," Dukawa told AFP.

Thirteen trucks brought the bottles of beer to the venue.
The alcohol had been seized at the weekend by sharia police as the bottles were being delivered to the city from the mainly Christian south, where most of the country?s breweries are located, Dukawa said.

Although the sale and consumption of alcohol is banned in Kano state, beer trucks find their way to taverns in the predominantly Christian Sabongari neighbourhood, which is practically exempt from sharia law.
Since 1999, when Nigeria returned to civilian rule after years of military dictatorship, around a dozen states in the predominantly Muslim north have reintroduced Islamic sharia law, though it has been selectively applied in many cases.
Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation, and roughly half of the 150 million population is Muslim.

Consumption of Alcohol by Country

Nigeria still one of the highest in Africa no matter what

@Eddeux - Go to Alaigbo and see all those Igbo men with big beer bellies. I refuse to look like one of them, that is why I go to the gym each day and don't drink beer, only wine.

I guess allah has nothing to say about their chain smoking grandmas drinking burukutu,
The gutter sniffing in northern Nigeria by the youths to get high
He has nothing to say about r'ape and violation of underaged girls by the sharia czar himself called Ahmed pedo.phile Yerima and VVF
allah is silent on diseases ravaging northern Nigeria and abject poverty with malnutrition
He is aye Ok with their thieving politicians like IBB, Atiku and co
His main concern is that that beer bottles are smashed on streets
He doesn't even care that these bottles pieces will eventually slash tires of cars, causing accidents as cars lose control, allah is not bothered that the pieces of broken bottles will cause injury on barefooted passersby, or pierce through slippers and cheap sandals causing tetanus and death
bunch of losers

Like someone said, atleast they're not smashing 80,000 human skulls.

most of them including their leaders are hypocrites, they condemn beer and immorality in their states only to travel to Kaduna and Abuja to have as much as they want - bunch of hypocrites

what the hisbas look like

They look like they should be fed the broken bottles

The 'sin' of alcohol is being vitiated, how about the other sins?

Islamic Police? I'm seen this for the first time. If they aim at destroying bottles, then I'll regard them as the most miserable creatures on earth. Yerima's attrocities worth more than a million bottles.

F.oools

@smashing bottles

~wish it could be smashed on aigbofa and bk/biatch's head~

beer isn't that bad for ya, if you have one or two a day. I don't like the taste of it though, then again all I've had is bud light and budweiser.

With all this, North is still one of the highest in drinking of Alcoholic drinks and HIV in nigeria. Na wa oooo.

VAT is collected by the FG. Were you not the guy who ran to the mosque last Friday for fidau prayers?. Why are you against a holy islamic practice like this or are you an islamic hypocrite?.

yes it was me, but under islamic laws, you should not be associated with beers in any form even in revenue collection from beer sellers, yet Kano, katsina, zamfara, kebbi and all this Sharia practising states are collecting VAT on beers from the revenue, it is against Islamic lawy.
hopes you got that right

Do you have proof that they collect levies on alcohol?

Time stoppers.It is like trying to catch wind with bare hands.This is the dying days of islam and religion in general and like every other thing,africans are always last to realize,that is why it is called the shackled continent,but we will soon break the shackles.

Curtail gini? Is it not the truth?

Aloy_Emeka:

its a known issue, even as am talking Lagos state is in the supreme court about this issue, all this states collect VAT revenue directly from the FG yet they refuse to tell the FG to remove the revenue accruing from Beers and alcholic before sending the remaining to them, is that not cheating, as a Muslim i think this is wrong, Saudi never practise rubbish like this. while reapingwhat you dont sow

Sabon Gari dey na.

Do you mind them .bunch of confused fools.they should eradicate poverty and ignorance first before all these nonsence.I have never heard of cow and snake worshippers in India fighting each other before it's always christian and muslim fighting each other.In fact the followers of the two religions should be banned from talking in public until they can be like the hindus,the cow worshippers, the snake worshippers etc all around the world.
