The Deputy Commander-General of the Board, Dr. Mujahideen Aminuddeen, confirmed the development to journalists, saying, “the operation was carried out after we received credible intelligence on the movement of the consignment.”
He explained that operatives attached to the Fagge Unit acted on the information and successfully stopped the vehicle, recovering the alcoholic drinks.

The driver of the vehicle has been arrested and is currently being questioned.
Dr. Mujahideen urged members of the public to continue supporting Hisbah’s efforts by reporting activities that contravene Islamic law in the State.
