Speaking during the destruction exercise at Kalebawa in Dawakin Tofa Local Government, Gov. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje said that consumption of alcohol and all other intoxicants that can distort the mental capability of a person is forbidden in Islam
“Even in Kano we have banned the consumption of beer in all parts of the State,” Ganduje emphasised.
Solacebase reports that Ganduje represented by his Deputy Alhaji Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, said that the Hisbah Board was established with the aim of preventing evil social acts in the society.
A statement signed by Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor, Hassan Musa Fagge on Sunday said that as part of his administration’s effort of enhancing the welfare of the #Hisbah, before this year 2020 runs out, there would be a salary increase and new uniform for them.
