Kano Emirate Bans Wetern Styled DJ Performance At Weddings And Social Gatherings
The Rano Emirate Council in Kano State has banned “Western-style” DJ music performances at weddings and social gatherings in the emirate. The Waziri of Rano, Alaramma Kabir Sani, said the authorities of the Rano local government area and the Emirate Council are united on the ban.
He said other security stakeholders endorsed the ban, given the negative impacts of this kind of music on the moral fabric of society. As reported by The Sun, the Waziri stated this at a youth programme at the palace of the Emir of Rano. It was gathered that the youth was organised by the Rano LG Shariah Islamic Council.
Waziri emphasised the need for proper upbringing among youths, lamenting the misuse of mobile phones by young people in society. This was contained in a statement issued by Rano Zonal Information Officer, Abdullahi Musa Gyadi Gyadi, on Saturday, January 17, 2026.
District Head of Rano, Adda’u Isah, pledged the full support of the Emirate to any activity aimed at promoting Islamic values in the area. He appreciated the Local Shariah Council for the initiative. The District Head was represented by Balarabe Adda’u Isah Rano. In his remarks, Rano Local Government Chairman’s Islamic Shari’a Council, Idris Garba Rano, charged parents to always take full responsibility for the proper upbringing of their children.
Recall that Rano Emirate in Kano state outlawed removing girls from primary school for marriage, mandating education completion. The Emir warned village heads, clerics, and schools against violations, threatening consequences for non-compliance.
