A Kano State Sharia court sitting in Filin Hoki, Kano, has remanded a popular Tiktoker, Murja Kunya, at a correctional facility for allegedly committing offences contrary to Islamic teachings and threatening people on Tiktok.
Murja Kunya appeared before the court presided over by Abdullahi Halliru over two count charges bordering on threatening to attack some people and releasing inciting videos that go contrary to the norms and teachings of Islam, and may lead others wrong.
Recall that the Tiktoker was arrested by the police as a result of complaints filed by the Council of Ulama.
However, when she was arraigned before the court, she pleaded not guilty to the charges that were against her.
The judge adjourned the case to February 16th, 2023, for a continuation of the hearing, and ordered the remand of the convict in a correctional facility.
 Meanwhile, the counsel to Kunya, Barrister Yasir Musa, prayed the court to send her to Hisbah custody or the police instead of the correctional centre, which was rejected by the council to the defendants, Barrister Lamido ABBA Soron Dinki.
