Kano Magistrate Orders TikTok Pair to Marry Within 60 Days Over Viral 'Indecent' Videos
A Magistrate Court in Kano has ordered popular TikTok content creators, Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda, to get married within 60 days following their involvement in viral videos deemed indecent by the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board.
Presiding over the case on Monday, Magistrate Halima Wali directed the Kano State Hisbah Board to oversee and facilitate the marriage process. She warned that failure to comply with the order within the specified period would be considered contempt of court.
The court also instructed the Chairman of the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board to monitor the process and ensure the directive is carried out.
The duo had been previously arraigned for allegedly creating and distributing obscene content on social media. Idris Mai Wushirya was reportedly remanded in a correctional facility after videos surfaced online showing him and Basira in romantic scenes.
Authorities argue that the videos violated state laws banning the production and distribution of sexually suggestive material.
