The Kano State Film and Video Censorship Board has revoked the operational licences of eight gala entertainment centres across the state
The affected centres have been banned indefinitely as part of a broader effort to uphold Kano’s cultural, religious, and moral values.
The Executive Secretary of the board, Abba El-Mustapha, announced the development on Wednesday in a statement.
This, he said was a move to curb unwholesome practices in the entertainment sector.
He emphasized that the decision was taken to sanitise the entertainment industry and ensure strict adherence to societal norms.
He said, “This action reflects our commitment to ensuring that Kano’s entertainment industry operates within the boundaries of our laws and moral standards.
“The banned centres have repeatedly flouted the board’s guidelines, and their operations are no longer permissible.
“The eight proscribed entertainment centres include:
Hamdala Entertainment – Ungoggo
Lady J Entertainment – Sanya Olu
Dan Hausa Entertainment – Sanya Olu
Ni’ima Entertainment – Zungeru
Ariya Entertainment – Abedi Sabon Gari
Babbangida Entertainment – Balatus
Harsashi Entertainment – Ebedi Sabon Gari
Wazobiya Entertainment – Sanya Olu”
El-Mustapha warned that any attempt to rebrand or continue operations under different names would result in legal action.
“Our monitoring teams are vigilant. Any individual or group caught attempting to bypass this ban will be arrested and prosecuted,” he declared.
