Hisbah, a Sharia law enforcement agency in Jigawa, has recorded some success in ridding alcohol drinks from the state. The task force had earlier prohibited the consumption of beer in all parts of the state as the commandant said that they would continue to fight against immoral acts, including consumption of alcohol across the state.

Recently some guests house and alcohol joints were raided by the Sharia police along with others – with many drinks confiscated in the process.

The owners/managers of the joints were also arrested for defaulting.
