TikTokers Sentenced in Kano for Posting Offensive Videos

A magistrate court in Kano has sentenced two TikTokers, Ahmad Isa and Maryam Musa, to one year in prison or a fine of N100,000 each for sharing videos deemed offensive to religious and moral values.

The Kano State Censorship Board arrested them for violating public decency.

Prosecutor Garzali Maigari Bichi charged them with criminal conspiracy and spreading illicit content online.

Both pleaded guilty. Magistrate Hadiza Muhammad Hassan urged them to maintain good conduct.

This case is part of a broader crackdown on social media content in Kano. The Hisbah Board has previously arrested several TikTok users for similar offenses.

In February 2024, TikToker Murja Kunya was arrested for alleged immoral acts. In June 2024, another TikTok user, G-Fresh al-Amin, was detained for allegedly making inappropriate remarks, including an improper recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha during Eid.

Authorities in Kano continue to monitor online content and warn social media influencers against violating moral and religious guidelines.
