A Magistrate Court sitting in Kano has remanded two popular Tiktokers, Isa Kabir Brigade and Fatima Adam Kurna, over allegations of sharing illicit material on social media platforms.
The duo was brought before the court by the police following their arrest by officials of the Kano State Censorship Board.
They were charged with criminal conspiracy, circulation of illicit content, and the use of vulgar language online.
During the court session, the prosecuting counsel, Garzali Maigari Bichi, formally presented the charges against them.
In response, both defendants pleaded guilty to the first two charges but denied culpability in the third count relating to vulgar language.
Presiding over the matter, Justice Halima Wali, directed that the accused be remanded in custody.
The judge then adjourned the case to April 24 for re-arraignment.
The case comes amid a renewed effort by the Kano State Censorship Board to regulate digital content.
The board recently intensified its social media sanitisation campaign, targeting individuals and content creators who breach its established code of conduct.
