Sharia court remands Kano TikToker, Murja Kunya over alleged immorality

 

A Shari’a Court in the Kwana Hudu area of the Kano metropolis on Tuesday ordered the remand of controversial TikToker, Kunya Ibrahim, at the Kurmawa correctional facility.

The Kano State Hisbah Board arrested Murja at her residence in the Tishama Hotoro area at 12:46 am on Tuesday morning, February 13, following a series of complaints from community members, who expressed concerns over her perceived negative influence on the youths.

Aliyu Usman, chairman, Operation ‘Kai da badala’ of the board, who doubles as the Officer-in-charge of Surveillance, said she is being charged with immoral acts.

“There is someone, who every day comes around to pick her up around 10 pm and will return her by 12 midnight or 1 am,” he said.

It was also alleged that Murja had recently posted a video on TikTok, claiming to exert control over all prostitutes in Kano State, saying that they would all bow to her.

She is accused of constituting herself into a public nuisance, indecency, and attempting to recruit young girls into prostitution.

Consequently, the court ordered that she be remanded until it reconvenes on February 27, 2024.

Murja, however vehemently denied all charges against her during her appearance before the Shari’a Court on Tuesday.
