The Board’s Deputy Commander General, Mujahideen Aminuddeen, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
Aminuddeen said the operation was carried out on Monday following credible intelligence reports that the consignment was coming from Lagos.
“Operatives of the Fagge patrol command acted swiftly on the information by successfully stopping the vehicle and seizing the alcoholic beverages,” he said.
Aminudeen revealed that investigations showed the consignment was sent by a woman from Lagos to Kano, with about 13 packs of alcoholic drinks recovered during the operation.
He added that the driver of the vehicle has been arrested to assist ongoing investigations, while efforts are underway to apprehend the woman who allegedly sent the alcohol.
The deputy commander-general urged members of the public to continue reporting activities that violate accepted social norms or the provisions of Islamic law, stressing that public cooperation remains critical to the effective operations of the Hisbah personnel.
