The State Hisbah Board has destroyed almost 2.5 million bottles of alcohol that were seized in Kano in order to respect Islamic law.

According to the Kano State Hisbah Board, the products were destroyed to help the state's effort to combat the illegal importation, sale, and consumption of alcohol.

Sheikh Sani Harun Ibn-Sina, Hisbah’s Commandant who disclosed that they received an order from a court to destroy the alcohol, said they won’t relent in the fight against acts that are contrary to the teachings of Islam.

Sani said;

“There is a law that prohibits the importation, selling, and drinking of alcohol and all other similar intoxicants in Kano State, and as such we will always work hard to ensure that the law is followed to rid the state of the harmful substances.

This is not the first time we are doing this. In the first instance, we destroyed about one million bottles. In the second phase, we destroyed around two million bottles, and now we are destroying 2.5 million bottles.”
