Kano State Hisbah Corps has reportedly arrested popular TikToker, Murja Ibrahim Kunya, on allegations of immorality.
This comes after Kunya’s previous arrest by the police last January while trying to reserve hotel rooms for guests attending her birthday celebration from various locations.
According to the command’s spokesperson, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, the arrest was prompted by complaints from religious leaders that Kunya “uses vulgar language and corrupts the morals of the society in her videos.”
In November 2023, Kano Hisbah announced plans to facilitate marriages for TikTokers in the state, including Kunya. However, the wedding plans have not been executed.
In a new development, Aliyu Usman, chairman of Operation ‘Kai da badala’ and Officer-in-charge of Surveillance, confirmed to Daily Trust on Tuesday, February 13, that Kunya has been arrested again.
“She was arrested yesterday (Monday) late evening at her residence located at Tinshama area. We spent about three hours waiting for her before she finally showed up and we picked her up,” he said.
“She is being charged with immoral acts which she is widely known for. There is someone who every day comes around to pick her around 10pm and will return her by 12 midnight or 1am.”
He further revealed that Kunya will be arraigned before a Sharia Court sitting at PRP on Tuesday.
