The Kano State Hisbah Board, on Saturday, confirmed that it would
destroy over one million bottles of beer it confiscated from traders
within the Kano metropolis.
The KSHB’s Assistant Commander on
Special Duties, Mr. Nahabani Usman, who made the disclosure, said the
action was in compliance with the penal code of the Board, which
prohibits drugs or any intoxicating substance.
Also, Nahabani
urged the state government to incorporate its newly-proposed Drug
Control Agency into the activities of the Board and constitute a special
court to address the cases of illegal drug-related offences in the
state.
The assistant commander urged professors and other
wealthy individuals, who had only one wife but intended to marry more,
to pick the forms from the Board or from his office.
According to
him, the move is to make them participate in the forthcoming mass
wedding of widows and divorcees being sponsored by the state government.
“I
am appealing to professors or wealthy individuals, who are interested
in having more wives to come forward and collect the forms for
registration to participate in the mass wedding,” he stated.
