No fewer than 142 cartons of alcohol intended for delivery to Daura Local Government Area has been seized by the Katsina State Hisbah Board.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, the Hisbah Commander in the state, Dr Aminu Usman, disclosed this in an interview in Katsina on Saturday.
According to Umsan, the alcohol was seized on Monday during a city-wide patrol led by him to eradicate immoral behaviours and indiscipline in the state.
The Hisbah commander explained that the operation led to the interception of the vehicle carrying the cartons of alcohol along the state’s ring road.
“This task was supervised by Malam Nafi’u Ma’azu-Akilu, who ensured the items were transported to the board’s headquarters for further investigation.
“In a related development, the board also arraigned two women in court for the fourth time on charges of loitering and immoral conduct.
“The women, Fatima Umar (Yargata) and Raliya Isah (Yar Ruma), are both approximately 24 years old,” the Hisbah commander disclosed.
Usman said in spite of previous warnings and counseling, the girls failed to reform their behaviour, leading to their arraignment before a Sharia Court.
According to him, the girls pleaded guilty and were ordered to be remanded in the correctional facility until Thursday for further trial.
He called on parents, teachers, and community leaders to intensify efforts in instilling discipline and good morals among the youths in their communities
The commander also appealed to them to continue to support the board in maintaining good morals to restore the values of their communities.
