Muslim faithful at Farm Centre GSM Market in Kano State, Northeast Nigeria have been banned from pasting pictures and playing or listening to the songs of music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
The announcer of the ban said to have been authorised by the leader of the market, Hassan Abubakar Bawasa, warned that any defaulter would be sanctioned decisively.
He added that the ban was as a result of Davido’s “blasphemous act against the religion of Allah.”
“Anybody who knows someone who pasted Davido’s picture in his shop, he should quickly remove and burn it because of his blasphemous act against the religion of Allah.
“Playing Davido’s music, video or sharing it is prohibited in Kano phone centres. Anybody found listening to his song will be sanctioned decisively. I convey you this message from Hassan Bawasa,” the announcer who went round what is suspected to Farm Centre GSM Market in the state with a megaphone said in Hausa.
Bawasa is the Chairman of Farm Centre GSM Market in Kano.
