Daily Trust reports that the Kano State Hisbah Board is currently making moves to regulate social media.

To this end, the board is in collaboration with Kano State Censorship Board (KSCB).

Ismail Na’abba Afakallah, Executive Director of KSCB, disclosed this in an interview.

He said although his board is primarily for the film industry, social media, especially Tik Tok, has enabled influencers to engage in immoral and indecent act.

“Our board and Hisbah have set up a Committee that will provide a system that will tackle this menace. It is not only Kannywood stars that are engaged in most of the immoral acts

on Tik Tok, most of the people abusing it aren’t in the industry.

“It is a global challenge. People see it as a free world where they can do whatever they like. And we cannot allow that because it would spoil the moral upbringing of our children.

“We are concerned with influential Tik Tokers too who aren’t filmmakers because they spoil our children’s character and moral upbringing. We can’t accept you to go wayward. The platform has become a harbinger of marriage failures, waywardness among other factors.”

He expressed concern that the social media platforms are primarily meant for entertainment and disseminating useful information but many people are misusing the opportunity.

“They’re now misusing the privilege and disseminating negative information. You will see mature girls every now and then dancing irresponsibly and exhibiting all forms of indecency on the social media, especially Tik Tok and Instagram.”

He called on parents to be observant of their children’s activities on social media so that they can not allow them go astray.

Bunch of hypocrites, they went missing at Buhari son's wedding where the Dj was playing Naira marley's song, they should keep deceiving the gullible ones.

This come is sick. When was this hisbah commissioned into Nigeria law. Now they won't to regulate things in a state that as police and other security body. Who trained them.. under which law will they operate ? And some people still believe no big deal in
Muslim-muslim ticket

Is Kano no longer a state in the sovereign nation called Nigeria? SMH@the past and present leaders we have.

we need vote out APC & PDP by making sure to vote in young visionary leaders come next year 2023!

@Seniorwriter

Look at what's going on under Muslim christian regime.
Yet some tinubu urchins want to force him with his Muslim Muslim candidate,down Nigerians throat like they did in Apc primary.

Kano should have a country of their own called Islamic Republic of Hisbah. We would gladly support them. Their own too much.

If tinubu wins, same fate for Nigeria... Bt God wont let that happen

Black foreheaded headslamming abokis parading themselves as Hisbah are the biggest hypocrites known to man. Regulate ur papa there. Fools

How dem wan do am abeg?
Ban Facebook or twitter in kano?
Just curious

Should not be coming from Hisbah, but it’s a welcomed developmental if the FGN can take up.

Too much nudity, porn and loads of Ills on all this social media platforms.

China is regulating social media and it’s really helping their youths. They not exposed to all this craps that are norms in other part of the world.

Too much nonsense on the internet.

Apart from northerners and their hypocrisy, TikTok especially is one app I wished never came to existence. Too much rubbish going on there from both men and women.
My 6yr old picks up a phone and next she's on TikTok.

Hisbah, the damage is from the inside not outside

Their problem, the northerners are okay practising their sharia but they shouldn't try force their nonsense on nigerians

Is Hisbah recognized by Nigerian law?

Is it an arm of the Nigerian govt that has the right to invade people's privacy?

Is like some things happening in Nigeria are meant to confuse our confusion.

The current Govt is confused.

Those in support of Hisba are mostly hypocrites. They all watch porn in their closet. Check out the countries that watch porn mostly, they are the highly religious ones. It was a good thing, God never made man to be very powerful.

Yet people are calling themselves Nigerians. I am not comfortable having Kwankwaso as Obi's running mate.

Pls let's divide this shot hole.

Most members of YMP ( Yoruba Muslims pigs) will support this

If you're living in Lagos, Kano, KADUNA, ENUGU, pls leave now before it's too late.
