“We stopped the vehicle at Kwanar Dangora village and the driver attempted to escape but our operatives apprehended him.
“You know it is illegal to sell and drink beer in Kano State. So, we are going to take the driver to court after taking his statement,” Ibrahim said.
He added that the Hisbah team in charge of intoxicants at the board are waiting for further instructions from the Hisbah management.
