The Katsina State Hisbah Board has on Sunday confiscated and destroyed alcohol drinks and illicit drugs worth N60million in Funtua Local Government Area of the state.
According to the State Hisbah Commander, Dr Aminu Usman, about 1,750 crates of alcohol, and about 33 jerry cans of locally-brewed beer were recently seized and destroyed in Funtua.
Usman said the effort was to ensure good morals among the people in the state.
The Hisbah commander commended the officials of the board for their effort and urged them to double their commitment to discharging their duties.
He also sought the support of religious leaders in the state for the success of the board, saying Hisbah does not belong to any particular group or sect.
He commended Governor Dikko Radda for his full support for the board to discharge its responsibilities.
Usman appealed to the members of the public to always assist the board with genuine information about places where immoral behaviours are committed.
He called on parents, teachers, and community leaders to intensify efforts to instil discipline and good morals in the youths.
