The Kano State Hisbah Board has seized and destroyed more than 30 trailer loads of beer.

The board’s Public Relations Officer, Malam Adamu Yahaya, disclosed this in a statement in Kano on Tuesday which was made available to Naija Politico.

According to Mr Joseph Peter, a distributor in Abuja, a trailer load of beer costs between N5.2 million and N5.5 million. This bring the total worth of the beer destroyed to over N150 million.

Yahaya said that the cartons of beer were destroyed on Monday evening after interception at Kalebawa on Danbata Road in Dawakin Tofa area.

“The Kano State Law No. 4 of 2004 has banned the manufacture and use of intoxicants in the state.
“
Furthermore, an order was given by a magistrates’ court for us to go ahead with the exercise,” the public relations officer said.

Yahaya warned those selling beer to stay within their limits.

He appealed to members of the public to be of good conduct and be one another’s keeper.

...Kano state why now

Hope Kano state doesn't partake in the the sharing of revenues from alcoholic beverages and tobaccos?
But alas, Kano will proudly share VAT from beer.
They should also reject their share of VAT from Alcoholic drinks since they can destroy it.
Hypocrisy in the highest order.

So beer is now an intoxicant that warrants such destruction?

So they destroyed it, instead of selling it to the south where it's not a sin and putting the money in government treasury.

Imagine a state with over 1 million beggars engaging in such tomfoolery.

At times, I wish we had no religion.

Tufiakwa.
