In what looks like another type of Boko Haram, Rano Emirate Council in Kano State has banned Western-style DJ music performances at weddings and social gatherings in the Emirate.
In remarks at a youth programme organized by the Rano LG Shariah Islamic Council, which took place at the palace of the Emir of Rano, the Waziri of Rano, Alaramma Kabir Sani said the ban had become necessary in view of the urgent need “for proper (Islamic) upbringing among youths in the Emirate.”
According to the Waziri, the authorities of the Local Government Area and the Emirate Council, with the endorsement of other security stakeholders, are united on the ban, given the negative impacts of this kind of music on the moral fabric of society.
The Waziri also lamented the misuse of mobile phones by young people in the society.
District Head of Rano, Adda’u Isah, represented by Balarabe Adda’u Isah Rano, appreciated the Local Shariah Council for the initiative, pledging the full support of the Emirate for any activity aimed at promoting Islamic values in the area.
In his own remarks, Rano Local Government Chairman’s Islamic Shari’a Council Member, Idris Garba Rano, stressed that the lecture would be held across all the 13 district areas of the Council, charging parents to always take full responsibility for the proper upbringing of their children.
