Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, has signed into law a bill banning the sale and consumption of alcohol in certain areas of the state, Punch reports.
The bill, known as the Prohibition Against the Production, Sale, and Consumption of Liquor in Certain Areas Law, 2018, was passed by the state assembly, and then passed it to the governor for assent.
In specific areas in Ilorin, the state capital, alcohol will not be allowed to be produced, sold, or consumed.
A fine of ₦100,000 or a prison term of up to 6 months has been stipulated for those found to disobey the law.

The divine orisa of illness, disease and their cures. The one who registers his displeasure with evildoers.
In the spirit of the Nigerian “leaving-everything-to-the-divine”, and the fact that we do not seem ready for a revolution, I invoke our orisas to provide retribution on my behalf. Fiyah burn dem! ?
hyphocrites!!!
Wow wat a great student of Saudi Arabia, the Hausa-fullani Edition. Except don’t do it 2 ur own people u giant oppressor! #RISEUPPP!
But who cursed this country? ehn? So of all the bills that could be signed into Law, it is a ban on alcohol in a secular state that this educated illiterate has decided to enact.
Wo, I am tired.
Did our reporters even investigate the why?
Seriously, why?
I must say this is one of the few times in Nigeria where the punishment fits the crime.
Later,this idiot and other Sharia governors that ban consumption of alcohol will want to share from the vat from school realised from the southern states-paresites.
