The Digest:

The Kano State Hisbah Board has canceled the proposed wedding of two social media influencers, declaring it an attempt to escape legal consequences rather than a genuine union. According to the Board's deputy commander, an investigation revealed the couple, Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira 'Yar Guda, sought marriage as a ploy to avoid prosecution on charges of immoral conduct, a case originally referred to the Board by a magistrate's court.

Key Points:
  • The Kano Hisbah Board has canceled the planned wedding of two TikTokers.
  • The Board stated the marriage was a ploy to evade legal consequences for immoral conduct.
  • The couple had been charged after posting a controversial video online.
  • A magistrate's court had initially suspended its ruling to allow the marriage to be formalized.
  • The Kano Judiciary clarified that the court never ordered a forced marriage.
  • The cancellation means the case will now be returned to the court for a ruling.
  • Hisbah suspended the process, including medical tests, to "avoid future conflict."
This intervention highlights the complex storm where modern social media influence collides with traditional moral enforcement, testing the boundaries between personal choice and legal accountability.
