The Kano State Film Censorship Board has closed down over 100 games clubs and 50 dance houses for allegedly “exposing underage girls to prostitution and encouraging truancy among pupils and students”. The agency also said “some of the girls were impregnated in the clubs”.
Mr. Ismail Afakallah who is the executive secretary of the board said “there was a case of two teenage girls impregnated in one of the houses”.
Mr. Ismail Afakallah said the Kano State Government took “harsh position” “to ensure that Kano state was free of vices that corrupt the morals of the society”
He also added that “Because of the hazard of such game clubs in breeding delinquent elements in Kano, the censorship board had no option but to close down the houses”.
Mr. Ismail Afakallah also disclosed that The Kano State Film Censorship Board would soon open offices at the 44 Local Government Areas of the state to serve as liaison offices to the head office.
