Adam A. Zango has finally registered with Kano state Censorship Board, thus bringing to an end a protracted dispute between himself and the Ismaila Na’abba Afakallah-led censorship board following his earlier exit from the Kano based movie industry- Kannywood.
It could be recalled that Kano state censorship board had earlier in January threatened to arrest Zango over alleged plan to host his fans during the premiere of Rahama Sadau’s film’s MATI A ZAZZAU at film house, Ado Bayero Mall in Kano.
Speaking on a BBC Hausa programme on Tuesday, Zango said he decided to register with the board to bring an end to the longstanding scuffle so as to be able to practice his career in Kano devoid of any harassment or intimidation.
He however reiterated his stance at being an independent film producer, stressing that his registration with Kano censorship board was not a move for him to return to the Kannywood industry.
According to him, “I decided to register with the board for two main reasons: one, most of my producers are based in Kano and secondly, most of my fans and other close allies in Kano have suffered segregation. They had been sidelined by various producers simply because they identify with me, as a result no one assign them roles in movies even after they had registered.”
