The Jigawa Hisbah Command on Tuesday says it has arrested 44 commercial sex workers and confiscated 684 bottles of beer across the State.
State Hisbah commandant, Ibrahim Dahiru Garki, stated this in Dutse.
Garki said the arrest was made during a two-week joint patrol with other sister security agencies in 17 towns in the state.
According to him, those arrested were handed over to the police for further investigation after which they will be charged to court.
The commandant added that the joint operation was in line with the state government’s directives to close all the identified alcohol and other social vices joints across the state.
He warned that the sales and consumption of alcohol, illicit drugs and other related social vices remain prohibited in all parts of the state.
