A Kano magistrate court has ordered the remand of popular TikToker, Ashiru Idris, also known as Mai Wushirya, for allegedly posting indecent videos featuring a dwarf woman on social media.

Presiding Magistrate Halima Wali of Court No. 7 directed that Idris be held in custody for two weeks pending further hearing.

Officials of the Kano State Censorship Board arrested the influencer last week after clips showing him shirtless and engaging in what authorities called “immoral and demeaning acts” went viral.

The board’s Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, confirmed that the court also ordered the appearance of the woman in the videos. “We tried to get him to help locate her, but he refused. Now that the court has ordered it, we will track her down,” he said.

He added that investigations suggest the woman might have fled to Zamfara State, but efforts are ongoing to bring her back to face trial alongside Idris.

The next hearing will hold after the two-week remand period.

The Kano State Government has in recent months intensified its crackdown on social media influencers, skit makers, and musicians accused of producing or circulating content deemed immoral or offensive under its censorship laws.
