Court Bars Popular Nigerian TikToker From Using Social Media
A Kano State High Court presided over by Justice Nasiru Saminu on Monday granted controversial TikToker, Murja Kunya, a bail in the sum of N500,000.
The Tik Toker had applied for bail, following a directive from the Kano Shari’ah Court mandating a mental evaluation by a psychiatric doctor.
In his ruling on Monday, Justice Saminu said the conditions for the bail included two reliable sureties, including a relative and an individual with landed property in Kano municipal.
The judge barred Miss Kunya from using her social media accounts until the case was determined.
“Any violation of the restriction would compel the Kano Commissioner of Police to arrest and bring back the Tik Toker to the court,” the judge ordered.
The judge also ordered that, “the defendants’ counsel, the Attorney General, representatives from the Hisbah Board, and the Commissioner of Police must be in attendance to address amendments to the Kano State Hisbah Board Amended Law for proper adjudication.”
The court, therefore, adjourned till May 16, 2024, for further proceedings.
