55 Jailed In Kano For Taking Alcohol
Category: Nigerian National News
55 persons, 50 married men and five women have been
sentenced to 4 months imprisonment each in Kano State for taking alcohol during
the on-going Ramadan fasting.
The board’s Director-General, Alhaji Abba Sufi, told NAN
that the convicts were apprehended last week following raids of hideouts in the
state. He disclosed that all the 55 persons have been sentenced to four months
imprisonment without an option of fine in order to serve as deterrent to others
who might contemplate doing same.
“Even if we are not
in the month of Ramadan, nobody should take alcohol because the state is implementing
Sharia law,” he said.
According to him another 27 have been arrested and will soon
be sentenced.
