Over 8,400 bottles of beer have been seized by the Kano State Hisbah Board in Dawakin Kudu and Kura local government areas of the state.
The Commander General of the board, Dr Harun Ibn-Sina, disclosed this on Tuesday.
“The vehicle was coming from Zaria to Kano when Hisbah officials arrested the driver,” Sina said.
“Hisbah board has prohibited the sale of beer in the state to avoid being intoxicated.”
He said the driver would be charged to court after investigation, adding that hisbah operatives have been charged to be vigilant and ensure no alcoholic products are imported into the state.
Sina urged the public to comply with the order and report to the command whenever there is a suspicious supply of beer and other intoxicants into the state.
