May 16, (THEWILL)- The Kano State Hisbah Board has banned male Disc Jockeys from performing at female-dominated events in the state.
The Commander General of the board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, in a meeting with representatives of DJs in the state, said 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 another meeting was held with owners and managers of event centres in the state, to sensitise 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 on the new guidelines introduced 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.”
