Why We Took Decision To Ban Sale Of Alcohol In Borno-Gov Zulum
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has announced the decision to ban sale of alcohol in the state.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the governor made this announcement on Tuesday after inaugurating the reconstituted committee on ‘revocation of illegal hotels, brothels, shanties, and criminal hideouts and curbing the menace of antisocial vices’ at the council chambers of the Government House, Maiduguri.
Zulum also reconstituted and mandated the committee with purging the state of all forms of criminality and antisocial vices in Maiduguri metropolis and surrounding environments.
The governor said the ban on sales and consumption of liquor and alcoholic contents was sequel to the rising cases of clashes among rival groups, cultism, prostitution, drug abuse, thuggery and theft, which have led to loss of lives and valuables.
He also co-opted the military, police, civil defence, and several other security agencies, including the civilian JTF as members of the committee noting that this was done to ensure a holistic approach.
Former and current serving personnel of the Nigerian security forces, he noted, have played a significant role in influencing the civilian populace and introducing them to criminality, radicalism, prostitution and other vices, which have heightened terrorism threats in the state.
‘I am happy to know that army officers are here, especially the military, police, and others are here because most of these activities were committed by who? Some of them are dismissed army officers, dismissed security officers, current army officers, men and officers, including civilians.
So, there should be no sacred cow in this matter if we want the Maiduguri metropolis and indeed the state to get rid of insurgency, terrorism and other sorts of criminalities’ Governor Zulum said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
