The Kano State Hisbah Board has outlawed the downloading and distribution of movies through mobile phones across the state
The board said the move is aimed at protecting public morality and promoting Islamic values.
The directive, which applies across Kano’s 44 local government areas, was disclosed through a WhatsApp message on Thursday by the Deputy Commander General of the board, Dr. Mujahid Aminuddeen.
“The Hisbah board has banned downloading and distribution of movies through mobile phones across the 44 local government areas in the state,” he said.
Aminuddeen explained that the decision followed complaints that some operators in the business were circulating pornographic films and other video materials considered offensive to Islamic teachings and the cultural values of the state.
He warned that Hisbah personnel had been mobilised to enforce the directive and monitor compliance.
