- Controversial ,Tiktoker, Murja Kunya
A social critic, Aisha Yesufu, said the Kano State Islamic Police, Hisbah, should be ashamed of itself and the ‘political sharia’ it practices.
Yesufu said that the focus of Hisbah should be on the teeming number of children roaming the streets, abandoned by their parents.
Yesufu’s statement comes on the heels of a ruling by the Kano High Court banning a popular Tiktoker, Murja Kunya, from featuring on all social media platforms.
The order was delivered by Justice Nasiru Saminu on Monday while ruling on her bail application, according to the spokesperson for the Kano State High Court, Baba Jibo Ibrahim.
Murja Kunya is allegedly standing trial on charges of misdemeanor, improper conduct, and immoral behaviour, contrary to Islamic laws of morality.
Hisbah had arrested the controversial Tiktoker, charged her to court, and was remanded in prison custody from February 20, 2024.
The judge restricted her from using all social media platforms pending the determination of the case and ordered the Commissioner of Police to arrest her if she violated the ban.
However, some Nigerians are of the view that this action against the Tiktoker gross violation of her fundamental right to free speech.
In a post on her X handle on Tuesday, Yesufu wondered why Murja should be Hisbah’s problem when thousands of children are roaming the streets.
According to her, “Hisbah should be ashamed of itself and the political sharia it practices. Children are roaming the streets abandoned by their parents and that is not the focus of Hisbah. Neither are they focused on child support that is not being paid. It is Murja that is their problem.”
