The Hisbah in Jigawa has arrested a 35-year-old man for allegedly smuggling alcoholic drinks in the Kazaure local government area.
The Hisbah commander in the state, Ibrahim Dahiru, confirmed the arrest on Friday.
Mr Dahiru said the suspect was arrested with 384 assorted bottles of alcoholic drinks in his car, allegedly smuggled in from Katsina.
“The suspect was arrested at the popular ‘Gardar Kazaure’ area with the 384 bottles in his Toyota Hilux car. The suspect was arrested following a report on his activities in the area,” he said.
Hisbah also arrested 12 suspects during a raid on a beer parlour in Kanti quarters in the same local government area. Mr Dahiru said nine bottles of assorted alcoholic drinks were confiscated during the raid.
He added the bar attendant, along with 11 others apprehended at the beer parlour, would be handed over to the police for further action.
According to the commander, consumption of alcohol remains prohibited in all parts of Jigawa and urged residents to be law-abiding.
