A magistrates’ 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 posting videos deemed vulgar and offensive to religious and moral values in the state. The pair, residents of Ladainai in Hotoro Quarters, were arrested by the Kano State Censorship Board and charged with criminal conspiracy and distributing illicit content on social media. Both defendants pleaded guilty.
Justice Hadiza Muhammad Hassan, presiding over the case, delivered the sentence and urged the convicts to maintain good conduct moving forward.
