Thursday, May 16, 2024 - The Kano State Hisbah Board has banned male Disc Jockeys (DJs) from performing at female-dominated events in the state.
The Commander General of the board, Sheikh
Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, said at a meeting with the representatives of DJs in the
state that the decision became necessary to prohibit the mixing of males and
females during events.
Sheikh Daurawa explained that, henceforth,
only women would be allowed to officiate at women’s gatherings.
He said, “As an Islamic state, it is
unacceptable for us to allow the indiscriminate mixing of males and females at
the same event. This is because this act can promote and spread immorality.”
He noted that previously another meeting
was held with owners and managers of event canters in the state to sensitize
them about the relevant laws guiding their activities.
In his remarks, the representative of
the DJs, Ibrahim Abdullahi, also known as DJ Farawa, commended the board for
advising them on the new guidelines introduced by the board to guide their
business.
He said, “We are happy with the invitation
of the hisbah board to our union of DJs. They have given us guidelines on the
sanctity of prayer times during events, as well as the need to prevent the
mixing of males and females during those events.”
Ibrahim noted that all DJs performing in
the state must adhere to the new guidelines issued by the board to avoid being
sanctioned.
He said, “This is why we are calling on all
DJs to register with our union in order to benefit from the guidelines that
have been issued.”
He warned that non-registered DJs
performing in the state would not be protected by the union if they were found
to have violated Hisbah's guidelines.
