Newly Crowned Miss Nigeria, Garko Shatu May Be Arrested

By DENNIS EREZI

 

Newly crowned Miss Nigeria Shatu Garko and her parents may be arrested by Hisbah police in Kano State who said participating in a beauty pageant is forbidden in Islam.

 

Garko, an 18-year-old indigene of Kano State recently became the 44th Miss Nigeria, the first hijab adorning Muslims to win the beauty pageant.

 

Even though Garko participated in the pageant adorning her hijab, Kano State Hisbah police said the Miss Nigeria contest is “illegal and contrary” to Islamic beliefs.

 

Hisbah police is an agency established to enforce Sharia law in Nigeria’s northern states.

 

Kano State Hisbah commander Haruna Ibn Sina, who spoke with BBC Hausa, quoted sections of the Quran that say a woman’s beauty should only be seen by her husband, parents, and children.

 

Sina said the beauty of a woman in Islam should only be seen by members of the public “unless it is obvious.”

 

“It is maganarar haram to talk about the beauty pageant … because, first of all, the sanctity of Islam is violated in it. not, that they should be taught not to be ashamed,” Sina said.

 

Even when the beauty of a woman is obvious, Sina said the woman holds the responsibility to cover herself with veils.

 

“Then they should cover themselves with their veils, and do not reveal their private parts except for their husbands, parents or children,” Sina said.

 

“This indicates that it is harmful for a girl as a believer to do such [competition].”

 

Sina said Hisbah police had confirmed that Garko’s parents are living in Kano and will soon be brought into custody and interrogated for the role their daughter played in the beauty contest.

 

He, however, did not disclose when Garko and her parents will be interrogated for what he says is a violation of Islamic provisions.

 

Hisbah police have been vocal in enforcing what they term as Islamic provisions on people of northern Nigeria whether elite or the masses.

 

The Islamic police in August 2021 prohibited the sharing of pre-wedding photos of the daughter of Emir of Kano Zahrah Bayero, who married Yusuf Buhari, son of Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari, saying it is a sin.

 

Currently, Hisbah police has banned fashion designers, supermarkets, and boutique owners from using mannequins to display clothes in Kano State.

 

Sina said it “violates Islamic provisions, it is also responsible for immoral thoughts among some members of the public, all these are against Islam.” (The Guardian)

Mompha Warns Bobrisky...Dont Use My Name To Chase Clout

Social media celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha, alias Mompha, has warned crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, against using his name to chase ‘clout’.

Born a male, Bobrisky, however, identifies as a female, and has involved Mompha in an ongoing online squabble with Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh.

Reacting to some claims made by both parties, Mompha took to his Instagram page to warn the crossdresser.

Boy/Girl, stop using my name for clout chasing. Are you mad or what, Bobrisky? Be warned,” Mompha wrote.

He continued, “My attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Idris Okuneye (aka “Bobrisky”), which is currently receiving traction across social media.

“In the said statement, Bobrisky stated that I gave Tonto Dikeh the sum of N300,000.00 without his knowledge.

I wish to state that this is not only untrue, but a deliberate attempt by Bobrisky, who is notorious for seeking attention through every means (including blackmail), to smear and ridicule my personality before the world.

“Rather, it was Bobrisky who informed me that Tonto Dikeh accused me of being too stingy, which I refuted as untrue.

“The truth is that I only gave the sum of N300,000.00 to Tonto Dikeh for her foundation when she pleaded with me to support her pet project.

“It has, however, come to my knowledge that Bobrisky was actually at loggerheads with Tonto Dikeh, and resorted to using my name to discredit her before the general public.

“I want the general public to know that Tonto Dlkeh is just a friend like every other friend I have both within and outside Nigeria, and there is nothing hidden in my friendship with Tonto Dikeh or anyone whatsoever.

Therefore, I am using this medium to sound a note of warning to Bobrisky, to desist from mentioning my name in any fight he might have with Tonto Dikeh or anyone whatsoever as he is not my friend and I do not waste my precious time on frivolities.

“Any further attempt by Bobrisky to drag me into his issues will be addressed by my lawyers in court.

“P.S: I want it to be in the public that I, Ismail Mustapha, as a devoted Muslima and a family man, have never and will never associate myself with gay people. My faith forbids it.”

Nigerian singer, Teniola Apata, and music producer, Seyi ‘Shizzi’ Akerele, traded words over the production of the singer’s hit song, ‘Case’.

It started on Friday when Teni tweeted, “Users have no pity, they’ll use you and feel no remorse, don’t let that crown shift. Walk away.”

In response, Shizzi tweeted on Saturday, “Oh you don dey feel am? Them don dey serve you breakfast already? See who’s talking about users?

“You that took a song that I produced with you ‘Case’ and you went and gave your in-house producer to reproduce it without my consent and you released the song and your guy ‘Nurse Dolor’ endorsed it with no remorse till today. you’re talking about users. Nah stop it!” (sic)

Teni replied, “You that you wanted to waste my life. Signed me with no plans. You gave my songs away, my mother paid you in full and I got out the contract. I walked away peacefully. Thank God for my mom, I would’ve still been singing on the streets of Atlanta.

“Drop the stems if you really produced it. Drop the stems in ten minutes or you’re a little bi*ch.”

But Shizzi insisted saying, “You must answer first. Your career benefited from my creation of the song “Case” which you took to someone else to reproduce. Yes or No?

“And when you wanted to leave , I gave you all my blessing without hesitation despite all that was done to move your career forward.

“For your information, I have all the receipts with your mum begging me on the phone and I let you go in peace you ungrateful cunt.”

The producer later dropped a video of Teni singing the song with a caption, “You asked for it and here is one of the receipts. A video of the day we made #Case. Today the whole world knows who you are. The real person you are! An ungrateful element.”

Teni however asked him to drop the stems of the song and he did but the singer insisted that Shizzi should drop a video of them recording the song.

“Don’t drop a picture, play the sound with my voice that I recorded, since you produced it,” Teni tweeted.

Shizzi replied, “I created the idea from scratch. It don’t matter if you didn’t record vocals that same day. My idea is my idea and moreover l, did you credit me or pay for it as the creator? And I can ask Sony to take that it down. Don’t play with me.”
