A Magistrate Court sitting in Kano has directed the Kano State Hisbah Board to facilitate the marriage of popular TikTok content creators, Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda, within 60 days.
The directive, handed down on Monday by Magistrate Halima Wali, followed a series of viral videos in which the duo were seen engaging in romantic displays considered “indecent” by the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board.
The court’s decision, which many described as both unconventional and controversial, instructs the Kano State Hisbah Board to facilitate the marriage process between the two social media personalities.
Presiding over the matter on Monday, October 20, 2025, Magistrate Halima Wali warned that failure to conduct the marriage within the stipulated timeframe would be treated as contempt of court.
The court also mandated the Chairman of the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board to oversee the implementation of the marriage order.
The Censorship Board maintained that the videos violated state laws prohibiting the production and distribution of s3xually suggestive or obscene material.
The duo was arraigned before the court recently for allegedly producing and circulating the videos on social media.

The videos, which trended widely on TikTok and other social media platforms, reportedly featured romantic scenes between Mai Wushirya and Yar Guda, content the Censorship Board said violated the moral and religious codes guiding public conduct in the state.
Officials of the board maintained that the clips breached provisions of Kano State’s censorship laws, which prohibit the creation and dissemination of sexually suggestive or explicit material.
Mai Wushirya had been earlier remanded in a correctional facility after the clips of him shirtless and engaging in what authorities described as “immoral and demeaning acts” went viral online.
His co-creator, Yar Guda, was also questioned by the board’s enforcement team before the matter was transferred to court.
