The Kano State Censorship Board has announced a ban on vulgar displays on Adaidaita Sahu tricycles, citing the need to promote public morality and enforce board regulations. The ban includes indecent pictures, offensive messages, or meaningless words on tricycles operating in the state.
According to Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, Public Relations Officer of the Board, the Executive Secretary, Alh. Abba El-Mustapha, made the decision following numerous complaints from Kano residents regarding indecent content on tricycles. The law empowers the Board to regulate and sanction defaulters accordingly.
To enforce the ban, the Executive Secretary led an awareness campaign across key roads in Kano, including Maiduguri Road, Zaria Road, and Sani Marshall Road. During the campaign, tricycle owners and the public were sensitized on the importance of upholding community values.
Abba El-mustapha warned that defaulters will face serious consequences, regardless of their background or business ownership.
He emphasized that all literary and artistic works are required by law to pass through the Censorship Board for screening before public display or distribution.
This move is part of the Board's efforts to promote public morality and uphold community values in Kano State.
In February, the Executive Secretary led a sensitization campaign targeting road users, where over twenty tricycles were apprehended for displaying vulgar images and messages.
The Board's action demonstrates its commitment to ensuring that public spaces in Kano State are free from indecent content, and it is expected that the ban will be strictly enforced to achieve this goal.
