Hisbah intercepts truckload of alcoholic drinks in Kano
Hisbah Corps, the Shari’ah Police tasked with enforcing Islamic law, on Tuesday intercepted a vehicle transporting alcoholic drinks from Lagos to Kano.
The deputy commander‑general of the corps in Kano, Mujahideen Aminuddeen, said the operation followed credible intelligence.
Mr Aminuddeen told journalists in Kano that operatives of the Fagge patrol command acted swiftly, stopped the vehicle, and seized the consignment.
He said the investigation revealed that the shipment—about 13 packs of alcoholic drinks—was sent by a woman in Lagos to a recipient in Kano.
The Hisbah boss said the driver had been arrested to assist with inquiries, and efforts are underway to apprehend the woman who allegedly dispatched the alcohol.
Mr Aminuddeen urged the public to continue reporting activities that contravene Islamic law and social norms, stressing that public cooperation is essential to the Hisbah’s effectiveness.
