A Magistrate Court in Kano has ordered the Hisbah Board to arrange and formalize the marriage between two well-known TikTok personalities, Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda, within 60 days.
The directive comes after both creators appeared in viral videos considered “indecent” by the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board. The videos, which featured the pair displaying romantic affection, were said to contravene the state’s moral and religious codes.
Presiding Magistrate Halima Wali issued the order on Monday, warning that failure to complete the marriage within the specified period would amount to contempt of court.
The court further instructed the Chairman of the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board to supervise the implementation of the ruling.
Daily Trust reports that the two TikTokers had earlier been arraigned for allegedly creating and circulating obscene content online. Mai Wushirya was previously remanded after clips showing him and the female creator in compromising situations went viral.
Authorities maintained that the acts violated existing laws in Kano prohibiting the production and dissemination of s+xually suggestive materials.
