Ahead of the plans by the Federal Capital Territory to stop the sale of alcoholic beverages in parks and gardens in Abuja, owners of recreation centres have written the Minister of the FCT, Muhammed Bello, reminding him that Nigeria is a democratic society.

This is as they called on the minister to uphold the rule of law, call his aides to order and stop the enforcement of the closure of parks and gardens by 7 pm in the Federal Capital Territory.

In a letter written through their lawyer Ifeanyi Remy Agu “Re Suit No: CV/408/2008: Barrister Amanda Pam & 60 Others -Plaintiffs Vs Hon Minister FCT Defendant, the group also described the enforcement of 6pm Closing Hour by FCTA-Action as Sub-Judice. The letter stated “as solicitors to the plaintiffs in the above-stated suit pending before the FCT High Court, we draw your attention to the threatened enforcement of 6 pm closing hour by the proprietor of gardens in the FCT by your Senior Special Assistant on Monitoring and Enforcement, Comrade Ikharo Attah, which action is sub-judice of the pending case before the court.

Welcome to Sharia Nigeria.. Southern one Nigeria believers in the mud

Bunch of miserable people... Na north Una go dey do all that rubbish o.... Una no dey shame at all , upon all we facing in this country Na alcohol matter be the next thing.....Fools

What they say to be no longer what it is along the road everything is now like ending on one side than general interest is now personalized

You must accept it

You guys can't turn Nigeria into personal property ooo we are watching

I thought Abuja was the capital of Nigeria, we learn everyday sha

😂😂😂😂Islamization happening in every body eyes

NwammiriNwaNkwo I hate this people with passion foolish Fulanis

If a religion do not permits you to take alcohol I believed that should be the problem of those that pertakes in such a religion and not to everybody's, please channels your Enforcement to the pertakers of your religion and leave others to do their business, MUMU MAN

Hope the minister is very OK sha

You people don't even know that this your contraption that you call cowgeria and shouting PVC has been an Islamic fake country since 1986.. Go and find out why Real Admiral Ebitu Ukiwe resigned as chief of staff, supreme headquarters

I think a prime minister in this country once said, Abuja will finally become a plantation farm at the end! And the policies are the handwriting on the wall .

Has the federal capital become an enclave of boko haram or isis? What's this madness about alcohol and night life in Abuja?

In Abuja? Its not feasible!

the Agenda is real.

May the Thunder of red lable and and Star kill you

I never hear this man talk of all the boys selling fuel in gallons in a every nooks and cranny of this town

Islamic agenda,pls tell the aboki that Nigeria is a secular state,look at his Fulani face

Your one najeriya! 🤣🤣 Enjoy!

How can anyone, with anything in their head, capable of being called a brain, sit and make this kind of order? People really underrate our democracy.

Islamisation is under way in Nigeria already, dis is more like a test run to see if there’d be uproar against dis devilish policy. If they succeed wit dis, then a full scale ban of alcohol may be introduced in d kontri and dats when God wud start to punish these terrorist in govt

And this is why we in the south East don’t like this particular religion once they gain power in a place they begin to force there religion doctrines on people,heard one useless igbo man even converted the Quran to Igbo language

Seems like this would hurt the local economy more than the random criminal elements.

Is Nigeria Iran? Abi is this Afghanistan? TF is alcohol ban? Meanwhile the entire Abuja is in darkness.

Governor Zulum is sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria and has a contract of inviting terrorists from Mali,sene Gambia, Niger Republic etc in a disguise of calling them repentant bokoharams whereby they use Nigeria tax money to feed n shelter foreign terrorists. A pure deceit.

This man de smoke something.

Muslims are Hella quiet on this matter. Abi una no dey drink?

Minister !! and his inept federal administration went to court against state generating VAT revenue from Alcohol . Wanting to share from what they don’t have.. exactly the problem with this country.., too many misplaced positioning in the name of Nigeria..

Islamization in it's full force. From clubs and hotel to banning of alcohol.

Lol this is the most useless fct minister ever he made no impact at all Abuja went from the fastest developing city in Africa to the fastest deteriorating city in Africa

Who is raising the ban on alcohol. Abuja belongs to every citizens.

If govt decided to ban or promulgate any law on production or selling of alcoholic well it's best decision. Can we all remembered pronouncement made by His Excell. Gov Wike on sharing formular of VAT in Nigeria. Non Acholic states is earning more dan Alcoholic State

It's now a law in the FCT... And that's the state capital which indirectly means it's a law for the federation. These guys are 30 years ahead with their dream of inslamization of Nigeria. Christiams are waiting for Jesus. Christians had better get the knight Templars back..

Alcohol, hijab, pork and sometimes 'Western education' are not negotiable in Islam. You will spend a whole lot of time debating nonsense as America keeps discovering Mungo Park.

This one suddenly remembered he’s the FCT minister,and decides this is his current mandate.

He a Muslim man, he will surpport Alcohol ban, unless he is well educated

Yall demonizing Islam day by day. Nigeria is not an Islamic country so why are you forcing your beliefs on us? Even in the state capital? Imagine banning alcohol in Lagos. Yeah! Imagine that.

KEEP VOTING THEM IN BUT NOTE THAT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. MORE IS COMING.

I thought Nigeria is a secular state or is that another joke

This administration has crossed so many lines. It hurts that reasonable Nigerians are not reacting soon enough.

😏ok

Why are this individuals bringing policies that do not add any value to the economy?. Bringing Policies that add value only to a religion. I hope we'll be healed one day

All of una One Nigeria eyes go clear! E remain small time.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the capital of Nigeria — a supposedly secular country; where NigeriaGov banned alcohol sales. With this development; the Fulani-led MBuhari govt Islamization agenda is clear!

Let it burn

I can't laugh alone. justcaptain6 OrijinalO RealKingSimba11 hisbah is now in Nigeria's capital. Next episode loading.

They tripping fr.

Lmao. One country several Laws

Southerners go get sense by force

We must be civil to allow individuals choices obtainable in every civil society. Religion must be kept out of governance.

He has to beat El Rufai's City planning record his Children FCT occupants to obey him.

This cannot be true. Does he think Abuja is full of underaged Children?

The FCT should declare Taliban regime at FCT. There is no need for this disguise

This highhandedness is concerning and it's always from the usual suspects.

When u don't have the right people in the right position... Na this kind of news u go dey hear

Who is this minister? Does he know his job description?

The islamisation plan and agenda for Nigeria is on full steam, weak azz Christians where is your own agenda for Nigeria or you lot are always content in turning your other cheek to be slapped.

Very nonsense talk

Is Nigeria an Islamic emirate?. Alcohol is met to be ban in any state of Nigeria.If you are a Muslim know that someone close maybe a Christian or pagan . Pls do not unleash ur religion against another .Allow people to eat and drink what they like .If you don't like it,stay clear.

It’s their long game to islamize Nigeria…

The minister has no right whatsoever to place such order he should be taken to court and made to resign his office with immediate effect.What an errand nonsense, enough of this moslem religious egoism,it has to stop.The federal capital isn't owned by the moslems. AbdulMahmud01

Why do this man always look for trouble since he enter that office.

We don hear, oya zukwanuike

Nigeria is becoming Islamic country

Ah, wetin we go take celebrate Peter Obi’s victory next year. No carry us play o

How do they intend to ban alcohol in a so called capital of a country? where people from different religion and ethnic groups lives,including foreigners.

This efulefu that cannot maintain common street lights and waste is talking

Since we all want to be mad in this country, they should add cigarettes to the list

Omoh what’s this nonsense na, what’s going on in this country? Is this Man ok?

Even in Dubai- Islamic Emirate, alcohol is sold . These terrorists in government are seriously pushing their agenda.

The worst Minister in the history of the FCT. You have failed to ban bikes but alcohol is your problem. Set

Who are the advisers of this people? I don't just understand what's wrong with this govt. Is Nigeria Islamized? Who the hell is that man?

Let alone Nigeria's situation calls for a very strong mixed tequila sunrise cocktail..it sure is kills depression all the time..who so ever implemented the ban should try dongoyaro or monkey tail...you will understand what am saying

They can never ban drugs and weed because them and their children also consume it. These people are occupying sensitive positions without foresight. All they know how to do best in APC government is to LOOT as much as they can.

When people raise against the government, some others will be calling for dialogue as a means of settling disputes. Now did the FCT minister dialogue with anyone before making this law? Untill this country turn red, them no go get sense. Nobody has the monopoly of stupidity sir.

Are you trying to say every body in abuja is a Muslim?..abuja is the federal capital territory for God sake and it comprises of different ethnicities..how can you force your religious taboo on everyone.. I am a Muslim and I totally disagree with alcohol ban in abuja

I think this northerners should be reminded that Islam is not subjected to the north alone but the entire world..more so Islam should not be mistaken for religion... You can't ban alcohol because its shriek(forbidden) in Islam...you don't own Islam we all do

Bad signal.... Abuja should be capital city... Even in Dubai, there is moderation not ban.

Alcohol ban in FCT. Na wa for my country. A whole capital state of a secular country called Nigeria, which is run with tax payers money is enforcing alcohol ban that is evidently attributed to a certain religion. Naija is technically an Islamic country.

YarKafanchan Welcome to Nigeria

buhari and his apc are working hard to Islamise Nigeria. Now they plan to fly muslim/muslim tickets in a secular country. Get your PVC,VOTE OUT APC by all means! They're evil!

Once they succeed to ban alcohol in Abuja, Ilorin is next

this same people from wilderness,they are everything wrong in Nigeria.

Islamization agenda

MichelleWuli

too many pointers to you guys trying to islamatize Nigeria.

E tin ya werey with una ban

Vote PeterObi you guys said no nah APC unah want after unah never see anything u guys are about to be islamise

Islamic State of Nigeria loading 57%

Christian and Alcohol is like 5&6 you can't separate Christian from drinking alchol cos their religion is allowed them to drink it. But they can drinks it in south cos Abuja is a part of Northern Nigeria and the Panel Code of Nothern Nigeria banned the selling and drink of alcoho

ndubui5i Una wan turn naija to sharia country? Omo time to vote christian o. I no even care wetin una wan talk.

Abi werey niyi ni ...

Islamization in progress ......

I don't drink alcohol or encourage it but directives such as this threaten the secularity of Nigeria and should be rejected

This is an insult on the FCT how can you make such laws in the FCT what are you thinking?

Useless people! What are they doing about the prevalence in the abuse of drugs amongst the youths in Abuja and the states surrounding Abuja.

What's the minister even thinking, abi him think say Abuja na him village. I trust my gbagi people dem no go gree for this one. Which kind nonsense be that

they want to bring their useless Sharia law into the FCT, you will meet stiff resistant, this minister that hasn't done any meaningful thing in Abuja not one! see commercial bike men in Abuja becoming nuisance coming into the express road, not to talk about the deplorable roads..

Worst minister ever

hafsaAhmed swear you have you gave never taken booze in your life. Highest consumption of booze, by statistics is Kano and Kaduna

If care is not taken the end of Nigeria is eminent period.

Muslim/Muslim ticket,this is just the beginning.

Where other countries are creating more tourist attractive capitals, you're here remarketing your own. Cluelessness of the greatest order

It's like this government wants to turn this country to Sharia country bcos me I no understand again...

This Fulani people again,.u cannot ban alcohol in Abuja period

Sharia Republic

They should first of all come to the indigenous people of Abuja. Nonsense. They think they own Nigeria?

What location of Abuja is affected?

Alcohol is illicit in every religion! Any exception? Make una gist me small 🤪

Soon they will ask you to leave the capital that it belongs to certain tribe 😅😅 This movie is getting interesting

Alcohol ban in Abuja?

What a country we live in, though I'm not surprised we are at this level in this so called country. It's really a pity we found ourselves is this habitat called Nigeria, who really do us this thing do they really think that all Nigerians are just fools?

They should sue him to court because it’s unconstitutional.

How can you ban oxygen ?

Weytin concern Islam and Federal Republic of Nigeria... I think they said they don't have an Islamic agenda, what is this na

If they give this people chance for Muslim Muslim ticket just know this country is finished and this country is going to be under Islamic rule . The Islamization will are talking abt is real and there is only their agenda

What's wrong with people in this govt? The federal capital territory of a multi religious country. He actually looks like someone who has lost direction

Dis man must be out of his senses, y thinking of de impossible na oga minister

Alcohol ban in federal capital territory? Nigeria's have not see anything yet if they allow muslim to rule Nigeria in 2023. Islamisation coming in full force, the whole Nigerians can see what mazi Nnamdi was shouting about that the whole country want to crucify him. It done clear

Why ban alcohol without doing the same to Cigarette and Shisha. Since many can afford it in quantity why not increase the tax on Them. This way the economy won't lose anything

Is Abuja an Islamic state or capital of which country, people are doing things out of control. How can you ban drinks in a secular society where there are different kinds of religions and cultures. Muslims should know that Nigeria dose not belong to them

When we talk about 'Islamisation' this is what we mean. A failed minister with an Islamic agenda. Time is running out, they need to do more damage before leaving. Tueh!

Small small Una wan bring Hishah to Abuja! Una see why Muslim Muslim no fit work!

They want turned Nigeria to Saudi Arabia

Of all the things to worry about

Just sue him, don't waste time.

We are slowly getting Islamized A whole giant of Africa with so many educated acting illiterate.. Love to see 😂 This war go dey interesting when it burns out NigeriaGov i just wanna let u know

And yet people wonder how and why some parts are retrogressing and others Progress. When you put policies that doesn't encourage Capital and Revenue expansion just because of your personal Beliefs.

Misplaced priority… what is your business with someone taking alcohol, how does that fix the economy…this guys are still clueless even toward the tail end of the admin. You want to turn Abuja to Zamfara… baba focus on fixing d bad roads,stress lights & one chance issues.

Hello mr. Minister!!! Are you alright? I doubt if you are. Has anyone ban alcohol in Adamawa your state. Please face business of governance jo!

It will be worst if APC is re-elected. Be warned o

When we say.. Presidency should move south after 8 years in the North, and that muslim-muslim or christian-christian ticket is dangerous for our nation right now, these are the things we have in mind. But let's leave politics for politicians like Orji Uzo Kalu and Atiku & PDP.

Sharia republic of Nigerian

Besides, which arm of the law enforcement agency do you want to enforce this law that does not have 70% alcohol taking personnels.

Instead of creating jobs, they are busy chasing shadows. Any adult that wants to spend his or her money on alcohol is at his or her freedom to do that. In as much that they don't constitute nuisance or steal your money to do that.

Is the government mad?

This guys are sick o, when did the Federal Capital capital turn to an Islamic state? It's dangerous for religious bigots to get to power in a secular state.

Who the fuck banned alcohol in the FCT?! Are these bonobos alright at all?!!!

Na wahooo! One Nigeria indeed

Is Nigeria no longer a secular state,what's going on here this madness is getting too far and it should stop FCT is not a core northern state for goodness sake.

South, don't know the aim of this Islamic / pro North efcc. The sole aim is to turn Southern Youths, to ex- convicts. No nation arrest & jail her citizens for a mere crime against foreigners who neither complained nor petitioned seeking justice. This is waste of tax payers money.

They are trying to shrink apolitical presidential aspirant of another party's business income. Due to his massive wave of popularity in recent time.

This is so funny. This dude has not done anything positive since he became FCT Minister. The city has become a shadow of itself. Instead of this thing to do what he's supposed to do he wants to Islamize Abuja. It will never work

May be he is dreaming that Abuja is also kano state, somebody should please wake up.

This headline is a click bait and a fuel for controversy.

We don’t need all these extremist mentality to do well as a nation, Kai

This woeful jihadists so called leaders...ban alcohol in Abuja? you cannot try it...nonsense people

Is FCT core North asking for a friend.

Fear in 🇳🇬 is d gradual Islamisation. As we vote for a Muslim-Muslim ticket let all b aware of above report in FCT. Don't think u don't drink alcohol so ok. Next 8 years of loosing ur lifestyle in various aspect as Sharia 2.0 is unleash. Self flagellation looms as we regress

The agenda is getting clearer, they have to act faster as the time go gets closer.

God, how did we get here. Lord luggard it will not be well with u. How can a sane society be successful like this? Almighty UAE self dnt do this. Dam....

This is what we get when religion is placed first instead of good governance!

Soon, the present government may be forced to ban piggery, sales and consumption of pock meat nationwide. Hope y'all know that Sharia government is running parallel line with federal government..... You say you no know? My friend, you go know soon!

Hisban is in FCT

Is Abuja become Fulani sate …

When Islamic clerics occupy place of position, this is what we get. This is a sharia law enforcement

Plenty pot holes, miscreants roaming freely, no electricity and potable water available and yet it's alcohol ban that's upmost.

This man is mad, with all the ills plaguing FCT it's alcohol ban that is paramount!

How can you ban alcohol in Abuja What's happening in this country?

Wetin this aboki think say em dey do? Masalaci work or Nigeria work?

To stop bandits, na wash. To stop kidnapping, na wash... but idiots wan look wey cinema no dey

Hisbah in FCT

Sharia too in Abuja? Ok na, that minister thinks he's in his father's house. Oga na all of us follow get this country o.

Islamisation agenda loading......

In the midst of this economic crises you still ban a value creating product just for what reason See why a certain region is just the clog in the wheel of progress of this nation. BAT and Obi supporters actually look stupid attacking each other at this point.

How can you ban alcohol in this write off economy? You wan make we sober die E be like una dey mad ...

Start by first putting a hold on tax payment as a protest. That's how you will be heard loud and clear. Abuja ita not kano. What a brazen decision!

We strongly reject alcohol ban
