A court has remanded the embattled Kano singer, Sadiq Zazzabi, over his newly-released song. The singer was arraigned before the censorship court in Kano for allegedly violating the state’s censorship board law which requires that a songs or movies should pass a censorship screening before it is released.

Sadiq released his song before the approval of the censorship board. The chairman Kano state censors board, Ismaila Afakallahu, confirmed that Sadiq will remain in prison till Friday.

“The sitting took place today and Sadiq was asked to be remanded in prison until Friday when the court will resume hearing on the case,” he said.

“Yes he actually brought the song for censorship and before we can grant him a certificate of approval, he went ahead to launch the song. For doing that he has faulted the censors’ board rule and we are charging him for that.

Censoring a movie or song can take up to three weeks or more depending on the complexity of the song or film," he added.

Odd how exactly that is legal. This should go to supreme court to be decided. That means mixtapes would have to go through them. They should restrict power to publicly broadcasted services I guess fm am radio and basic tv.

The north always giving us a spec on how Mohammed lived his life in early days

Apart from backwardness.
Na dem dey forefront of backwardness

Their business

I don't mean to sound bad but when we allow our country to be ruled by stupidity and hypocrisy, we can never grow.

And for those that say he should obey the law of the land, what if the laws are foolish and stupid?

The hypocrisy riles me the most. The highest drug usage in Nigeria is in Kano State.

A woman was beheaded in front of her shop in Kano, nothing happened.

Alcohol is officially banned except in certain areas, but VAT and tax on companies that do the alcoholic business are shared to the hypocrites.

I don gerrit. And an innocent musician releases music and he is jailed.


I'm tired...

Was his song of praises meant for Nnamdi KANU?

I think we need censorship cuz someone like vic-o can't b let untamed with his powerful lyrics.

Na hustle na

this is unconstitutional

just imagine .... and it's not like they get paid by the board for releasing their (artist/musician) songs o.... just another way to frustrate the guy cause I strongly believe that guys like that most times don't sing to the favour of the govt. it is well tho

Ndi gworo ndi ala ... Make Una come Lagos na ,come arrest Alaba marketers na

The North is like a completely different country from the South
