It was a scene of confusion and bottled up anger in Kano State recently when some overzealous policemen bent on enforcing Islamic law smashed and destroyed over 240,000 bottles of beer, in what many believed was a 'smokescreen' crackdown on behaviour seen as anti Islam in the state. A source told SHOWBIZPLUS that the bottles were seized from trucks coming into the city in the last couple of weeks by officials of Hisbah, which regularly enforces the strict Islamic law (Sharia) in governor Kwakwanso's troubled state.
Another report from AFP stated that Sharia enforcers (Hisbah) destroyed over 240,000 bottles of beer along with over 8,000 litres of a local brew called Burukutu.

Gentlemen of the Press,

 it is with pleasure that I meet with you once again to rob minds on the political developments in our dear state. Not long ago, while bemoaning the orchestrated plots to throw the state chapter of our party, the PDP into crisis by those we describe as inside outsiders lead by Gov. Chibuike Ameachi who had long been suspended along with some of his cohorts, we told you that it will not be long before they openly admit what they have been doing in secret even, though denying all this while.
