It is illegal to bring alcohol into Kuwait and possess or consume it in the country.
Public intoxication or driving under the influence of alcohol is punishable by fines, imprisonment, deportation and confiscation of one's driving license.
Team Wanderlust pours libation
In a video shared on Pebble, the CEO of Saka Homes, Ebenezer Kwadwo Saka Addo-Mensah, led the libation as he thanked the gods and asked them to protect them.
Meanwhile, Franklin Peters, CEO of InkIt Ghana Limited, explained why they were pouring the libation and leaving the rest of the drinks at the border instead of carrying them along.
A caption attached to the video said:
“When you can’t crossover into Kuwait with your alcohol because it’s haram, you end up pouring libation with it.”
He said Kuwait does not allow for the entry of alcohol into the country, hence the need to use the drinks to pour libation.
After pouring the libation at the Iraqi-Kuwait border, one of the team members spun some doughnuts at the Kuwait border before entering the country.
