Officials of the Kano State Hisbah Board have arrested Murja Ibrahim Kunya, a popular TikToker known for her controversial social media content.
On Tuesday morning, local radio stations reported Murja Kunya’s arrest.
Hisbah Board sought to arrest at least six famous Tiktok skit makers for allegedly posting vulgar skit videos on their Tiktok and other social media accounts, an act that the board says contradicts its laws.
The hunt for entertainers comes a few months after the Commander-General of the board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa invited all female Tiktokers in Kano to a session where the board offered to rehabilitate and empower them with businesses and scholarships.
At the meeting, Sheikh Daurawa admonished all Tiktok and other social media entertainers to desist from posting content that is capable of encouraging immorality in society.
