Renowned singer Ado Gwanja has found himself at the center of a legal storm, with the Kano State High Court issuing a directive for his arrest and imposing a ban on his performances.
The court’s decision was prompted by allegations leveled against him by the Kano State Council of Ulama, citing the use of inappropriate language in his songs.
In response to the court’s ruling, Ado Gwanja expressed remorse for his actions and pledged to cooperate fully with the authorities.
However, complications arose when it was revealed that the Kano State Police Force had not yet received the official court order for his arrest.
Barrister Gandu shed light on the delay, attributing it to logistical challenges but assuring that the necessary documents would be promptly delivered.
Meanwhile, the police reiterated their commitment to enforcing the court’s decision once they received the requisite paperwork.
This legal saga underscores the complexities surrounding artistic creativity in Nigeria, as well as the important role of the judiciary in upholding societal norms and values.
