Not really. Reasonable number of Northern muslims don't take alcohol. Though few, very few of them secretly do.

letitrainnow:
In 2022, the Kano Hisbah destroyed over three million bottles of assorted beer as part of the state’s efforts “to address drug abuse, intoxication, and other social vices”.

JuanDeDios:
I'm sure you meant - so this argument is strong because in addition to the cost of the alcohol and bottles destroyed, they are incurring additional economic waste by expending resources on the destruction.

FreeStuffsNG:
I think the Hisbah should confiscate and fine the culprits heavily then handover the bottles to NAFDAC.

To destroy such huge number of bottles itself costs a lot of money so this argument is weak since they are equally expending resources to destroy the bottles.

FreeStuffsNG:
The cost on law enforcement is not regarded as economic wastage. The Hisbah was set up by law as a law enforcement agency. So it would argue that if the crime wasn't committed, the funds spent on the enforcement would be used for enforcement of other laws not returned to the treasury.

Mrfeel:
Confiscate and handover to NAFDAC to destroy, on what grounds exactly? That bear is illegal in Nigeria? Is there any law in the Nigerian constitution against selling and buying bear ?

Beer is considered haram in the state. If you are not looking for trouble, go sell your beer in other states. The punishment is expected to have been taken from the Islamic books. Giving it to NAFDAC is a way for NAFDAC to use regulatory powers to further sanction those manufacturers shipping their beers to a Sharia state. It's irresponsible and the law breakers deserve greater deterrent. Sell your beer elsewhere for God's sake. Haba.

Shinjawestern:
Black Abdul y r U crying

JuanDeDios:
@bolded. Really? Funny.

Yes, the cost of law enforcement is not regarded as economic wastage. But that's because law enforcement protects the public and prevents economic losses. Now, we're talking about superfluous enforcement, the enforcement of waste.

Akaegwu:
They preferred it in kettles.

Layi4real:
I'm crying because i feel sad for u for been clueless about ur faith. u people will rather worship pastor Jeremiah, oyedepo, Adeboye etc than worship the one true God

Shinjawestern:
Okay black Abdul

Death to all terrorists

God bless Israel for doing the lord's work

Botragelad:
Have you ever heard about separation of state from religion? 🤷‍♂️
This nonsense of "respecting" religious beliefs.

Let's be clear: if someone's religion prohibits them from consuming alcohol, that's their personal choice. But to say that the government should segregate tax distribution based on religious permissions is an overreach. Why would you want to impose religious doctrine on secular institutions?

So will you also demand that the government withhold taxes from states that permit gambling, given that some religions frown upon it? Or maybe should restrict access to certain medical procedures based on religious objections? Think!

If some individuals choose to abstain from alcohol due to personal beliefs, so be it. But to impose on everyone makes no sense.
Is this a Nigeria thing? Read it's a secular country.

deewhydoski:
What Hisbah police did is very very wrong.
Since they don't want beer in their states, beer manufacturer should stop taking it there simple

Tjra:
The man you idolise (Obasanjo) allowed the establishment of Shariah in Northern Nigeria. You should have protested against it when he granted them the right to run a shariah law in a secular country.

Tjra:
If their religion does not permit it, then so be it. We must not impose our culture on other people.

Government should just ensure FIRS segment taxes on alcohol separately and get them distributed only to states that permits consumption of such products.

Simple!

Ikpongiton:
but they consume Indian hemp and other hard drugs in large quantity.

Tonytonex:
but they do drugs. Or other substance abuse

MyExpression:
If destroying alcoholic beverages is an economic sabotage, what about destroying houses/buildings used as kidnappers' den/hideout.

How is it justified?
...and it seems to be a common practice in the East especially.
