The Kano State Hisbah Board has officially outlawed mobile movie downloading shops throughout the state’s 44 local government areas. Acting Commander General Mujahid Aminuddeen communicated the prohibition through a recorded message distributed to the press.
This initiative aims to safeguard public morality and enforce adherence to Islamic principles. The board initiated the ban following internal investigations that linked these businesses to the distribution of cinematic content conflicting with local cultural values and religious doctrines.
Aminuddeen stated that the restriction is necessary to shield the youth from moral degradation and halt the proliferation of inappropriate materials. He issued a firm warning to all operators, demanding an immediate cessation of activities. The board has declared that it will pursue legal consequences for any individuals who ignore this directive and persist in running these downloading services.
