The Yobe State Hisbah Commission has destroyed 243 cartons of alcohol and 100 gallons of locally brewed illicit liquor, popularly known as “Shock and Die” (Sukudai).
The exercise, which took place in Damaturu, was part of a broader initiative to enforce laws prohibiting the consumption and distribution of alcohol in the state.
The Executive Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Yahuza Hamza Abubakar, said the operation was in line with the commission’s mandate to enforce laws that promote decency and protect societal values.
“Alcohol consumption poses a threat to public health and social harmony. Its distribution in the state remains prohibited under existing laws,” he stated.
