The Kano State Censorship Board has stopped all Islamic singers’ debates in the state unless cleared by the board.
Executive Secretary, Alhaji Abba El-Mustapha, announced the directive after a recent debate between Usman Maidubun Isa and Shehi Mai Tajul’izzi was held without approval.
In a statement by board spokesman, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, the move was described as necessary to maintain peace and ensure compliance with the law.
A fact-finding committee, chaired by the Director of Special Duties, Malam Isha Abdullahi, has been set up, while the singers and their moderators have been given 24 hours to appear before it.
