Kano Court Jails TikTokers Over Offensive Videos
A magistrates’ court in Kano has sentenced two TikTok users to one year in prison or a fine of N100,000 each for posting videos deemed vulgar and offensive to religious and moral values.
The defendants, Ahmad Isa and Maryam Musa, both residents of Ladainai in Hotoro Quarters, were arrested by the Kano State Censorship Board before being arraigned in court.
The prosecution, led by state counsel Barrister Garzali Maigari Bichi, charged them with criminal conspiracy and distributing illicit content on social media. Both pleaded guilty to the charges.
Presiding over the case, Justice Hadiza Muhammad Hassan delivered the sentence and advised the convicts to maintain good conduct in the future.
