After a Hilux truck loaded with alcohol fell into ditch close to the  Kumbotso  Local Government Area command of the Hisbah office in Kano State, the vehicle was seized alongside the bottles.

Residents, who went to rescue occupants of the truck, were the first to discover that it was carrying alcoholic drinks.

According to Daily Trust, the truck driver sustained injuries in the incident which happened on Tuesday evening.

Confirming the incident to Daily Trust, Kano State Hisbah Board, through its spokesperson, Ibrahim Lawan Fagge, said its operatives were at the scene.

According to him, “Our operatives in that Local Government have been targeting the truck movement for long, until that fateful day that it had lone accident close to our office.

“Our findings have so far discovered that the Hilux driver has been using the truck, camouflaging as a security vehicle to convey the alcohol.

“So far, we have seized the vehicle, packed all the bottles to our headquarters at Sharada,” the Hisbah PRO said.

Selling and transporting of alcoholic drinks is forbidden in Kano.

Hisbah operatives are empowered to arrest and confiscate any of such products.

Last year, Hisbah said it destroyed about two million bottles of alcohol and other intoxicants across the state. (DT)
