The Hisbah corps in Kano State has banned Cool FM from mentioning Black Friday in their programmes, saying Friday is holy in the state.

Black Friday is the day after the US holiday of Thanksgiving, regarded as the first day of the Christmas shopping season, on which retailers make many special offers.

But in a letter signed by Abubakar Ali on behalf of the Commander General and addressed to the manager of the station, the board requested the media house to stop the act with immediate effect.
