A Magistrate Court in Kano has ordered popular TikTok creators Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda to marry each other within 60 days following their involvement in videos deemed “indecent” by authorities.

Magistrate Halima Wali issued the order on Monday after the duo appeared in court over allegations of producing and circulating content that violated Kano State’s moral and religious codes.

The clips, which went viral on social media, reportedly showed the pair in romantic gestures considered inappropriate by the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board, which described the videos as contrary to the state’s conservative values.

Magistrate Wali directed the Kano State Hisbah Board to facilitate and supervise the marriage process within the 60-day timeframe and warned that failure to comply would be treated as contempt of court.

The court also instructed the Chairman of the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board to monitor the full implementation of the order.

Earlier, the TikTokers had been arraigned for producing and sharing videos described as immoral and capable of corrupting public decency. Mai Wushirya was reportedly remanded in a correctional facility before being granted bail.

The Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board reiterated that the viral clips violated state laws against creating and distributing sexually suggestive or obscene content on social media.
