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

“This paved way for the board to secure a court order from Chief Magistrates’ Court, Kano, to damage all the seized beer in its custody.

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

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

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

Ganduje 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, Hon. Sunusi Usman-Batayya.

“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”, Ganduje said.
