By AMINU GARKO
The Kano State Hisbah Corps, the Shari’ah Police tasked with enforcing Islamic law in the state, on Tuesday, intercepted a vehicle transporting alcoholic drinks from Lagos to Kano.
The Deputy Commander‑General of the corps, Mujahideen Aminuddeen, said the operation followed credible intelligence.
He told newsmen in Kano that operatives of the Fagge patrol command acted swiftly, stopped the vehicle and seized the consignment.
Aminuddeen said that investigations revealed that the shipment – about 13 packs of alcoholic drinks – was sent by a woman in Lagos to a recipient in Kano.
He said that the driver had been arrested to assist with inquiries, and efforts are under way to apprehend the woman who allegedly dispatched the alcohol.
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. (NAN)
