Kano singer, Sadiq Zazzabi
hehehehe...... A court has remanded in prison, a popular Kano singer, Sadiq Zazzabi, over his newly-released song.
A popular Kano-based singer, Sadiq Zazzabi, has on Wednesday, remanded in prison by a court over his newly-released song.
According to Premium Times, 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.
Speaking with a correspondent, the singer who released his song
before the approval of the censorship board, said he was being targeted
because of his support for former Gov. Rabiu Kwankwaso, though the
government have denied the allegation.
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.
He insisted the matter was not about politics. “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.”
