Kano Court Jails TikToker, Mai Wushirya, Over Indecent Video, Orders Female Partner’s Arrest.
A Magistrate Court in Kano has remanded popular TikTok personality, Ashiru Idris, widely known as Mai Wushirya, in a correctional centre for posting indecent videos featuring a dwarf woman, whose identity remains undisclosed.
Presided over by Magistrate Halima Wali of Court No. 7, the court ordered that the content creator remain in custody for two weeks pending the continuation of the case.
According to LEADERSHIP, officials of the Kano State Censorship Board arrested Mai Wushirya last week after clips showing him shirtless and engaging in what authorities described as “immoral and demeaning acts” with the woman went viral on social media.
The Board stated that the videos violated state censorship laws, which prohibit the production or circulation of obscene or sexually suggestive content.
Speaking after the ruling, the Board’s Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, said the court had also directed that the woman featured in the videos appear at the next hearing.
“The court has ordered that his partner be brought before it at the next sitting. Before his arraignment, we tried to get him to cooperate with us to locate her, but he refused. Now that there’s a court order, we are confident she will be found,” Sulaiman said.
He further disclosed that the woman is believed to have fled to Zamfara State, but authorities are working to ensure her return to Kano to face trial alongside the TikToker.
