Kano censorship board issues warning over vulgar display on tricycles
Story from Jameel Lawan Yakasai
In a strategic move to promote public morality and enforce board regulations, the Kano State Censorship Board has announced a ban on vulgar displays on Adaidaita Sahu tricycles. These include indecent pictures, offensive messages, or meaningless words.
According to Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, Public Relations Officer of the Board, the Executive Secretary of the Kano State Censorship Board, Alh. Abba El-Mustapha, made the decision following numerous complaints from Kano residents regarding indecent content on tricycles operating on some roads within the ancient city of Kano where moral values rooted.
He emphasized that the law empowers the Board to regulate and sanction defaulters accordingly. As part of an effort to enforce the ban, the Executive Secretary led an awareness campaign across key roads, 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.

He further explained that in the interest of public morality, all literary and artistic works are required by law to pass through the Censorship Board for screening before public display or distribution.
It could be recalled that 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 owners were warned and released after promising of compliance was ensured.
