Singer Sadiq Zazzabi Arrested By Censorship Board

Kano-based musician, Sadiq Zazzabi has been arrested by the Kano State censorship board.

According to PremiumTimes, the northern singer failed to acquire the right requirements to release his new song which he presented to the board.

The Kwankwassiya singer who was a close ally of the former governor of the state, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, believes the arrest was politically motivated due to his association with the ex-governor.

Sadiq would be detained in prison up until Friday as directed by the boards chairman, before he appears before the court.

The Chairman said; Yes he actually brought the song for censorship and before we can grant him a certificate of approval, he went ahead to launch the song.

For doing that he has faulted the censors board rule and we are charging him for that.

Censoring a movie or song can take up to three weeks or more depending on the complexity of the song or film
