約400万本のビール等を廃棄…！

　ああ、なんてことでしょう。

BBC Nigeria's Sharia police bulldoze four million bottles of beer in Kano 10 Feb 2022

　ナイジェリア北部、Kano。宗教警察が、南部から移送されてきたアルコール飲料を没収。まとめてぶちまけて、ブルドーザーで踏みつぶすパフォーマンスを披露。ああもったいない…！

「Religious police in Nigeria have destroyed nearly four million bottles of beer in a crackdown on alcohol.

The bottles were crushed into the ground by bulldozers in the northern city of Kano in front of crowds cheering "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great).

The predominantly Muslim city is in one of several northern Nigerian states that prohibit alcohol under Sharia law.」

　…いやまあ、シャリーアのもと、正式に違法らしいのですが。しかし異教徒が多少の悪徳をする分には、一応、多少は、その…！

「The beers had been seized from trucks coming from the mainly Christian south, officials told AFP news agency.」

「Officials say they rolled over 3,873,163 bottles of beer and other types of alcohol in bulldozers at a wide open space as part of a war against intoxicants. Officials then lit the crushed remains on fire and allowed the blaze to burn into the night, according to villagers who watched.」

　踏みつぶした後には火をかけて、夜まで火が燃えるに任せた―と言うんですが、それはそれで陶酔を惹起しかねず、よろしくないのでは―とも思うが、どうなのだろう。
