Dahiru said the drinks were seized on Thursday during an early morning raid on three bars in the area.

He said “Our operatives raided three bars in Kazaure town in Kazaure Local Government Area, where they succeeded in seizing 78 cartons of assorted beer.
“However, no arrest was made during the operation as suspected owners and users took to their heels on sighting our men.”
The commander, who reminded people that consumption of beer remains prohibited in all parts of the state, said the command would continue to enforce the order.
He said the confiscated items will soon be taken to court.
