Kano govt bans male DJs from female events
In Kano State, male Disc Jockeys (DJs) have been prohibited from officiating at female-dominated events, authorities in the northwest state have said.
The Commander General of Kano State Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, announced the ban on Wednesday.
He made the announcement at a meeting with the representatives of DJs in the state.
According to him, the move became imperative in order to prohibit mixing of males and females during events and stop other indecent and immoral activities.
Sheikh Daurawa stated that only women would now be allowed to officiate at women’s gatherings, saying Kano is an Islamic State and can’t allow unfettered mixing of opposite genders.
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 previously another meeting was held with owners and managers of event centres in the state in order 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 for inviting and advising them on the new guidelines introduced by the board 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.”
He warned that non-registered DJs performing in the state would not be protected by the union if they were found to have violated the hisbah guidelines
