The Governor Abdullahi Ganjude-led Kano government approved the destruction of over 3.8 million bottles of assorted beer, said the state’s Hisbah board commandant, Harun Ibn-Sina.

The religious police boss said that the alcoholic drinks were confiscated in the last few months.

He said the state government approved the destruction of the intoxicants, hence the conduct of the exercise.

”This paved the way for the board to secure a court order from Chief Magistrates’ Court, Kano, to damage all the seized beer in its custody,” Mr Ibn-Sina said at the destruction site at Tudun Kalebawa, Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area on Wednesday.

Mr Ibn-Sina explained that the board is winning the fight against drug abuse, intoxicants and all other societal vices.

“The sale, consumption and possession of alcoholic substances are prohibited in the state,” Mr Ibn-sina, added.

He commended the state government for the dedication towards mitigating societal problems and ensuring that Kano competes with others globally.

In the same vein, Mr Ganduje, has reiterated the state government’s commitment to the welfare of the board’s personnel.

The governor was represented at the event by the member, representing Albasu Local Government in the State House of Assembly and the Chairman, House Committee on Religious Affairs, Sunusi Usman-Batayya.

Mr Ganduje said that Kano is one of the most peaceful states due to the tireless efforts of the state government and other relevant stakeholders.

The governor urged the general public to support the government’s efforts by inculcating good moral values in their children to maintain a crime-free society.

“Kano is the first state to establish a ministry for religious affairs in the country which has gone a long way in promoting peaceful coexistence.

“Hisbah personnel should maintain the tempo as miscreants had devised new tactics of smuggling beer and hard drugs into the state”, Mr Ganduje said.

Destruction... Seems that's the only thing these people are good at. Practicing Sharia law in a secular country like Nigeria and still enjoying the taxes from the beer companies...

It's high time we go back to regional government or practice true federalism. That's the only thing that makes sense in Nigeria

Some leaders ordering destruction of beer bottles is better that ordering the cannibalism of your elders and traditional leaders . Enugu is a no go area right now. Even your corps won't survive

Loewe:


I know and that's what makes them parasites... I even read an article about Kano State University not allowing Christian fellowships on Campus. Try that with a Muslim fellowship in a Christian majority state and see how useless he-goats will open their mouths to preach religious tolerance... Bloody murderers.

So it draw now

MikeBetty:
How wealthy has religion made NIGERIA? You destroy goods because of religious inclination, you spend nations huge resourses to to send few privilaged to hajj and pilgrimage. You destroyed beer worth about #760,000,000 at the rate of #200 a bottle. Why not return it to the southern trader who will gladly pay you for you to use it to feed those northern children that are causing nuisance in Douglas Road owerri?
