The Kano State Hisba Board said it has destroyed 326,151 bottles of beer out of the 363, 853 it confiscated from members of the public in the past three years.
This was contained in a statement in Kano on Saturday by the officer in charge of operation at the board, Alhaji Sani Nasidi.
The statement noted that the destruction of the illegal commodity was carried out in three phases within the period under review.
“In the first phase 42, 000 bottles were destroyed while in the second and third phases, 40,000 and 244,151 bottles were destroyed respectively,’’ the statement said.
The statement indicated that there were a total of 197, 173 bottles of beer that were yet to be destroyed by the board.
“These remaining bottles of beer are being kept at some of the local government areas where they were impounded and they would be destroyed at a later date.
‘’But the other bottles of beer were destroyed at Hawan Kalibawa in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of the state,’’ he said.
The statement explained that the special operations were carried out in collaboration with the eight LGAs that made up the Kano metropolis.

ReplyDeleteImagine the kind of country we are in, the northerners dragging the southerners backward. The brewery industries pay heavy taxes to the federal govt, federal govt gives allocation to Kano govt partly from the taxes it collects, salaries are being paid from the taxes, roads are being built from the taxes of which this kano state benefits from.
ReplyDeleteIt's high time we need to call a spade, a spade, this country should be divided.
That is what they want to replicate across Nigeria with Buhari. They won't succeed.
ReplyDeleteNigeria is an arithmetic that has defiled all known formula. It cannot work. Those supporting Buhari should read the handwriting on the wall. No Northern state has been bold enough to address the issue of child marriage that is causing V V F but they can confiscate bottles and destroy their future.
