Kano Shuts Down Clubs, Game Centres

Over 50 solo dance houses and 100 games clubs has been closed down by the Kano State Film Censorship Board  for exposing underage girls to prostitution and encouraging truancy among pupils and students.

The agency said apart from enticing innocent girls to indulge in prostitution and other social vices, some of the girls were impregnated in the clubs.

The executive secretary of the board, Ismail Afakallah, noted that only last week before they effected the closure of the dance houses, there was a case of two teenage girls impregnated in one of the houses.

He said the government took “harsh position” to ensure that the state was free of vices that corrupt the morals of the society.
