A magistrate court in Kano on Monday ordered the remand of popular TikToker Ashiru Idris, popularly known as Mai Wushirya, at a correctional centre for allegedly posting “indecent videos” involving a dwarf woman on social media.

The presiding magistrate, Halima Wali of Court No. 7, directed that the social media influencer be kept in custody for two weeks pending further hearing.

Officials of the Kano State Censorship Board arrested Mai Wushirya last week after videos showing him shirtless and engaging in acts described as “immoral and demeaning” went viral. The board said the clips violated state laws prohibiting the production, posting, or circulation of obscene or sexually suggestive content.

Speaking to journalists after the court session, the board’s Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, confirmed that the court also ordered the appearance of the woman featured in the controversial video.

“The court has also ordered his partner to appear in court before the hearing continues. Even before we arraigned him, we tried to get him to cooperate to locate her, but he refused. Now that the court has ordered it, I am confident we will be successful,” Sulaiman said.

Investigations suggest that the woman may have fled to Zamfara State, but efforts are ongoing to bring her back to Kano to face trial alongside the TikToker.

“The next hearing is expected after the two-week remand period,” Sulaiman added.

The Kano State Government has intensified its crackdown on social media content creators accused of promoting immorality or violating the state’s censorship laws. Several TikTokers, skit makers, and musicians have recently been arrested or sanctioned for producing or sharing content deemed offensive to public morals under the state’s regulatory framework.
