A total of 260 cartons of assorted alcoholic drinks were over the last weekend destroyed by the Bauchi State Sharia Commission through its Islamic Police popularly known as ‘Hisbah’ in the Misau Local Government Area of the state.

The disclosure was contained in a press statement signed and issued by the Permanent commissioner in charge of state Hisbah, Barrister Aminu Balarabe Isah, copies of which were made available to newsmen in Bauchi.

The Permanent Secretary stated that the exercise was carried out in the presence of the executive chairman of the state Sharia Commission, Alhaji Mustapha Baba Illela, critical stakeholders and security agents.

He further stated that; “The state Hisbah command would like to reiterate its commitment and determination in ensuring that the provision of Sharia will continue to be fully implemented across the state and without vindictiveness, witch-hunt, fear or favour.”

“While we solicit for understanding and cooperation of all and sundry, the state Sharia commission wishes to appreciate the people of the state for their understanding and cooperation which serves as the catalyst for the successes recorded in making Bauchi a crime-free society,” he said in the statement.
