The order given by a Kano State Magistrate Court to the State Hisbah Board to facilitate the wedding arrangement between Kano-based social media content creator, Idris Mai Wushirya, and his dwarf partner, Basira ‘Yar Guda, has collapsed after the Kano State Hisbah Board announced the cancellation of the entire process.
It will be recalled that a Kano State Magistrate Court presided over by Magistrate Halima Wali had given an order to the State Hisbah Board to facilitate the marriage process between the two TikTokers, Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira ‘Yar Guda, who were known for posting obscene content and acting romantically, within a 60-day ultimatum.
It was also recalled that Idris and Basira were brought before Magistrate Halima two weeks ago and accused of producing and posting obscene content online.
Some of the videos reportedly featured romantic acts between Mai Wushirya and ‘Yar Guda, which the Censorship Board noted violated the moral and religious codes guiding public conduct in the state.
Magistrate Halima Wali gave the order following a series of viral videos in which the two TikTokers acted romantically, which were considered indecent by the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board.
However, in the latest development, the Hisbah Board said that the alleged romantic relationship between the two TikTokers, which was originally referred to the board for formalisation, was found to be a pretentious arrangement staged by the offenders to evade legal consequences for their previous actions.
According to the Deputy Commander of the Hisbah Board, Dr Mujahedeen Aminuddeen, the agency confirmed the development, stating that the decision to cancel the proposed wedding followed the outcome of an investigation that revealed the insincerity of both parties.
He noted that both social media personalities had submitted blood samples to confirm their medical compatibility, but the process was halted to avoid further complications.
He added that the case would now be returned to court if the matter is not reconciled.
The Hisbah Board stated: ‘After our investigation, we discovered that the proposed marriage was not based on mutual understanding but rather an attempt to evade legal consequences. Therefore, the board resolved to cancel the wedding to prevent future conflict.’
