Kano Court Remands TikToker In Prison Over Indecent Video With Dwarf Woman

A Magistrate Court in Kano has ordered the detention of a TikToker, Ashiru Idris, known as Mai Wushirya, at a correctional centre.

Mai Wushirya was remanded for posting indecent videos involving a dwarf woman whose identity remains undisclosed.

The order was issued by Magistrate Halima Wali of Court No. 7, who ruled that the social media influencer be held for two weeks pending further hearing.

It was gathered that the Kano State Censorship Board arrested Mai Wushirya last week after videos showing him shirtless and engaging in what authorities described as “immoral and demeaning acts” with the dwarf woman circulated widely online.

According to the Censorship Board, the video breached state laws prohibiting the distribution of obscene or sexually suggestive content.

After the court session, the Board’s Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, told reporters that the court had also ordered the woman featured in the videos to appear at the next hearing.

“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 with us in helping us locate her, but he refused.

“However, now that the court has ordered it. I’m sure we will be successful in bringing her,” Sulaiman said.

He added that authorities had received reports suggesting the woman had fled to Zamfara State.

Efforts are ongoing to track her down and bring her back to Kano to face trial alongside Mai Wushirya.

KanyiDaily recalls that another Kano court had ordered the remand of a TikToker, Umar Hisham Fagge, popularly known as Tsulange, for bathing in public while dressed in women’s underwear.
