This was stated by the Hisbah Commander in the state, Dr. Aminu Usman, told journalists on Saturday in Katsina.
He said the liquor was seized on Monday during a city-wide patrol to eradicate immoral behavior and indiscipline in the state.
Usman said: “This task was supervised by Malam Nafi’u Ma’azu-Akilu, who ensured the items were transported to the council headquarters for further investigation.

“The women, Fatima Umar (Yargata) and Raliya Isah (Yar Ruma), are both approximately 24 years old.”
He said the women failed to improve their behaviour despite previous warnings and counselling, leading to their being charged before a Shariah Court in the state.
He added that the women pleaded guilty and were returned to the correctional facility until Thursday.
