Angry Plateau women raid shops, seize and destroy alcoholic drinks making their husbands ‘useless’

Women from Plateau State’s Jos South Local Government Area have attacked businesses in many areas, seizing and destroying alcoholic beverages and related items.

The event, which took place in the Sabon Bariki and Bukuru Low Cost neighbourhoods of Gyel District, was attended by a huge number of women.

According to the wives, these substances make their spouses irresponsible.

The ladies, organised into groups, were aided by young girls, children, vigilantes, and other volunteers as they targeted alcoholic beverage establishments.

Angry Plateau women raid businesses, seize and destroy alcoholic beverages, rendering their husbands ‘useless’.

When some business owners learned of the imminent crackdown, they closed their doors and fled, but the ladies pledged to return with even stricter restrictions.

The women, with the approval of community and traditional rulers, expressed concern that these substances were leading to irresponsible behaviour in their husbands.

“These drinks are turning our men to irresponsible people. The drinks are weakening them; taking away their strengths and making them useless,” one of the women said.

“Our youths don’t have the strength to do menial jobs or farm to fend for themselves again. They spend most of their time in these drinking places

“Our husbands have also been weakened by the drinks, and they can no longer perform their conjugal duties in the night. Today, instead of having a man and a woman at home, we now have two women at home since our husbands cannot be called men any longer.”
