Katsina DJ Operators Protest Eight-Month Ban By Hisbah

Disco jockeys who specialize in playing recorded music for audiences during ceremonies, parties, and other social occasions reportedly stormed Kangiwa Square in Katsina State to protest their eight-month ban from the State Hisbah Board on Monday.

They argued that the state’s religious police had seized their millions of Naira-worth of property, making an appeal to the state government to allow them to conduct their lawful business distraction-free.

The Hisbah Board seized their musical instruments worth millions of Naira after protesters criticized how long it has been since they have been carrying the placards.

Their protest came at the same time as Governor Dikko Radda’s official commissioning of the Kofar Soro-Kofar Guga Road dualization at Katsina Metropolis’ Kangiwa Square.

The 1.2-kilometre road project which was, flagged off by the governor on March 13, 2024, was initially awarded by the Aminu Masari-led administration.
