The Rano Emirate Council in Kano State has placed a ban on Western-style DJ music performances at weddings and social gatherings within the emirate.
The announcement was made by the Waziri of Rano, Alaramma Kabir Sani, during a youth programme organised by the Rano Local Government Shari’a Islamic Council at the palace of the Emir of Rano.
A statement issued on Saturday by the Rano Zonal Information Officer, Abdullahi Musa Gyadi Gyadi, said the Waziri emphasised the importance of proper upbringing among youths and the need to protect societal values.
The Waziri stated that the local government authorities and the Emirate Council, with the endorsement of relevant security stakeholders, are united in enforcing the ban due to what he described as the negative impact of such music on the moral fabric of society.
He also expressed concern over the misuse of mobile phones by young people, warning that it contributes to moral decline within the community.
The District Head of Rano, Adda’u Isah, who was represented by Balarabe Adda’u Isah Rano, commended the Local Shari’a Council for organising the programme and pledged the full support of the Emirate to initiatives aimed at promoting Islamic values in the area.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the Rano Local Government Islamic Shari’a Council, Idris Garba Rano, said the lecture series would be extended to all 13 district areas under the council. He also urged parents to take full responsibility for the proper upbringing and guidance of their children.
