Hisbah Cancels Marriage Plan For Kano TikTokers Mai Wushirya and Yar Guda
The Kano State Hisbah Board has cancelled the planned wedding between popular TikTokers Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda.
A Magistrate court in Kano had ordered the Hisbah board to contract marriage between the duo after they appeared before the court over “indecent” media content they circulated online.
The court also ordered the Hisbah board to ensure that the two were really in love as they professed before going ahead with the wedding.
However, Hisbah Deputy Commander Sheikh Mujahideen Aminuddeen, told newsmen that the would-be couple were never in love.
“They only claimed to be in love to avoid sanctions by the court”, Aminuddeen added.
The two TikTokers were dragged to court by the Kano State Films and Videos Censorship Board over alleged circulation of videos it termed as “indecent”.
The court had ordered Hisbah to contract the marriage within 60 days or be returned to the court for conviction.
“From the beginning, what we understand was that the court ordered us to facilitate the wedding between the TikTokers based on the love that they told the court exist between them and their intention to marry each other.
“That was what the Executive Secretary of Censorship Board, the prosecutor, court officials and the duo made us to understand.
“After our investigation, we discovered that the proposed marriage was not based on mutual understanding but rather an attempt to evade legal consequences. They told us it was just for entertainment and content creation, but no love affairs between them.
“The board, therefore, resolved to cancel the wedding to avoid forceful marriage that would not last.
“The matter will now be referred to the court for appropriate action,” Aminuddeen said.
