Authorities say illegal brews have caused serious health problems, family breakdowns, and increased crime in many communities.
NACADA officials noted that some of the drinks being produced and sold are harmful because they are made using dangerous chemicals and poor production methods.
During the ongoing operation, security officers have raided several suspected brewing sites, confiscated illegal alcohol, and destroyed equipment believed to be used in production.
Several suspects have also been arrested as investigations continue.
Authorities say the operation is part of a wider national effort to eliminate the illegal alcohol trade, which has remained a challenge in different parts of the country.
NACADA officials explained that illegal brews pose a serious public health risk because they are not tested or regulated.
They warned that many of these drinks contain substances that can cause blindness, long-term illness, or even death.
The agency stressed that protecting citizens from such dangers remains one of its key responsibilities.
The agency also raised concern about allegations that some law enforcement officers have been accepting bribes to allow illegal brewing and sales to continue.
NACADA warned that any officer found working with illegal traders will face strict disciplinary and legal action.
Officials said corruption within security agencies weakens enforcement efforts and puts the lives of citizens at risk.
Security officers involved in the operation said they are determined to restore order in the area.
They noted that illegal brewing not only affects public health but also contributes to school dropouts, domestic violence, and rising poverty levels.
According to officers, many families have been affected after breadwinners became addicted to cheap but dangerous alcohol.
Local leaders and community members have welcomed the crackdown, saying it is long overdue.
Some residents said illegal brews have destroyed many young lives and reduced productivity in the region.
They expressed hope that continued enforcement will help protect families and encourage responsible drinking habits.
Authorities have also urged residents to cooperate by providing information about illegal brewing activities.
NACADA emphasized that community support is important in identifying hidden brewing sites and tracking individuals involved in the trade.
The agency assured residents that information shared with authorities will be handled confidentially to protect informants.
In addition to enforcement, NACADA announced plans to increase public awareness campaigns in the region.
The agency said it will work with local leaders, schools, and religious institutions to educate residents about the dangers of illegal alcohol and substance abuse.
Officials believe education will help reduce demand for unsafe drinks and support long-term solutions to the problem.
