A Magistrate Court sitting in Kano State has reportedly issued a ruling instructing viral TikTok stars, Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda, to get married within 60 days.
Reason for the Court’s Order
As reported by Instablog9ja, the decision was reached after several of their TikTok videos went viral, showcasing the duo in romantic and affectionate moments. These clips, however, were considered inappropriate and contrary to the state’s strict moral and religious principles.
Details of the Ruling
The court declared that the couple’s public display of affection violated Kano’s decency and Sharia-based moral codes. Consequently, both individuals were directed to formalize their relationship through marriage within two months or face possible sanctions under the state’s laws.
Public Reactions
The judgment has sparked mixed reactions online, with some social media users supporting the decision as a means to promote moral discipline, while others view it as a violation of personal freedom and creative expression.
The TikTok pair, who gained fame through their comedic and romantic skits, have yet to respond publicly to the court’s decision.
