Sharia Police has raided beer parlours in Jigawa State, generating outrage on various social media platforms.
In a post by Instablog9ja on Instagram, the Sharia Police were said to have confiscated bottles of beer and arrested the owners of the pubs.
Commenters on the post expressed chagrin at the incident with some wondering while those selling codeine and tramadol, two dangerous drugs, illegally were spared.
See some comments below:
moorremi: This is Nigeria and it is a secular country and no religion should stand in the way of life of anybody… this is the reason why everyone wants the northern state to be cut out of Nigeria so you people can do your shit among yourself and stop embarrassing Nigeria
emekachgz: Foolish hypocrites… why is there even a sharia Police in those backwards Northern Nigerian states when there’s a Nigerian Police?
babaribadu: I thought there is no state police in Nigeria
mikemesikenor: Terrorism has an unfettered reign in the region but no, we would rather have police that arrest and seize beer bottles than seize guns and bombs.
iykaaaaaay: U arrest them and share from VAT that comes from alcohol consumption. Inept govt
eyanmayweather: And they ignore those selling codeine and tramadol……. Sense?
thegodson_gram This same people can code ethanol in that their kettle and take hard drugs like pablo. Any type of hard drugs is located in this region and not to mention rapes and child molestation but its fine by them. Whenever FG shares VAT acquired from alcoholic sales they should remember to reject it too. Lastly, this is against the law but of cos the govt will look the other way.
