September 21, (THEWILL) – The Kano Film Censorship Board has henceforth banned the showing or selling of movies displaying kidnapping, drug addiction and snatching of GSM phones.
The Board Executive Secretary, Ismaila Naaba Afakallah, relayed this in a chat that the ban became necessary as the issues at stake have now turned notorious among citizens.
He said: “Henceforth, we will not allow films displaying kidnappings, drug addiction and GSM phone snatching, which has now taken their toll on Kano residents.”
Afakallah explained that the measure was aimed at cutting down the menace and curtailing the possibility of young people adopting the criminal acts.
He said that if they see an actor do it, they would want to indulge in the acts.
“Not every young man has the perseverance to understand fictitious films’ actions. Somebody might mistake it as reality and may go ahead to practise it, therefore, we must act now before it is too late,” he added.
