According to him, he led the burning of the alcohol bottles on Sunday in Kankara in the company of some government officials.
He further reiterated the state government’s commitment towards fighting any act of immorality in the State.
Usman explained that some of the alcohols were intercepted in a vehicle heading to the town, and some were seized from where they were being sold by the local government.

The commander appealed to the people of the state to always expose houses and places in their communities where such acts are committed.
He called on the general public to always support the board in discharging its responsibilities towards making the state a more conducive environment.
