Ibeno location chief today led area administration police officers in cracking illicit brew where over 3,000 liters of illicit liquor was destroyed as five brewers were arrested.
Area chief Christopher Omanga who led the operation also burnt plastic containers used in manufacturing the brews and also said he was going to ensure illicit brew in the location becomes history.
He confirmed that 3,000 litres of kangara (local brew), 200 of busaa and another 200 of chang’aa were destroyed.
“The government will not relent in its efforts to stop the brewing and consumption of illicit brews in the country," he warned.
He said he will ensure that all those involved in brewing the illicit brew are arrested and arraigned in court.
“Alcoholism has been dragging our location behind in terms of development and all we want is to ensure that we end it so that we can have a fast developing nation,” he added.
He warned those involved in the business and said they will face the law once arrested and called upon more government agencies to ensure they hold hands to end drug and alcohol abuse.
