Kano State Censorship Board has revoked the licenses of two companies owned by Aisha Tijjani, popularly known as Hajiya Amart, from the exhibition, distribution, and operation of downloaders in the state.
The Board’s Executive Secretary, Alh. Abba El-Mustapha, said during a news conference on Thursday that the companies are Kannywood Enterprises Limited and Amart Entertainment.
According to him, the revocation followed non-compliance with the laws of the board and defamation of character.
It was gathered that the Board has been receiving complaints from the Association of Kano State Downloaders (KADA) against the companies. It was also alleged that the Hajiya Amart used some security personnel to extort money from people.
The secretary also maintained that the board had invited Hajiya Amart many times to sort out the issues, but she refused to honour the invite.
