The Sokoto State Hisbah Board has seized over 200 cartons of substances suspected to be alcoholic drinks at the Sokoto Central Motor Park.

Addressing journalists on Wednesday, the Hisbah Commander, Usman Jatau, displayed the confiscated items and confirmed that no one had come forward to claim ownership. He noted that the board would consult the State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General to determine further actions.

Jatau outlined the state’s regulations, stressing that they are meant to uphold Islamic principles rather than cause chaos.

He urged residents to abide by Sharia law in their daily conduct, including dress codes, social interactions, and public ceremonies. Jatau also warned against selling or distributing illicit substances, stating:
