Kano State Hisbah Board Bans Male DJs From Women’s Events

The Kano State Hisbah Board, also known as the Sharia Police, has announced a ban on male Disc Jockeys (DJs) from participating in events primarily attended by women across the state.

This decision was disclosed by the Commander General of the Board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, during a meeting with representatives of DJs in the state.

Sheikh Daurawa emphasized that the prohibition is intended to prevent the mixing of men and women during public events, citing religious and moral concerns. He stressed that, as a state governed by Islamic laws, it is crucial to uphold standards that discourage actions deemed contrary to Islamic principles and teachings.

Sheikh Daurawa further explained that only women would be permitted to officiate at women’s gatherings from now on.

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.”

Sheikh Daurawa further highlighted that prior to the decision, the Hisbah Board had engaged with owners and managers of event centers in the state to educate them on the laws guiding their activities.

In response, a representative of the DJs, Ibrahim Abdullahi, popularly known as DJ Farawa, expressed gratitude to the Hisbah Board for the invitation and guidance provided.

He acknowledged the importance of adhering to the new guidelines introduced by the Board, particularly regarding the sanctity of prayer times and the segregation of male and female genders during public events.

Abdullahi urged all DJs operating in the state to register with their union to ensure compliance with the Hisbah’s guidelines, emphasizing that the union will not protect any DJ found wanting.
