A popular Kano-based comedy skit maker, Murja Kunya, has been arrested by the police at Tahir Hotel in Kano, while trying to book rooms for her guests who came for her much-publicised birthday bash.

In September last year, a Sharia court had written a letter to the Kano State Commissioner of Police to arrest and investigate Miss Kunya alongside other TikTokers for ‘corrupting the morals of the society.’

Other TikTokers included in the letter to be investigated are: Mr 442, Safara’u, Dan Maraya, Amude Booth, Kawu Dan Sarki, Ado Gwanja, Ummi Shakira, Samha Inuwa and Babiana.

Recall in November 2022, a Kano senior magistrate court sentenced two young men, Mubarak Isa and Nazifi Bala, to 20 strokes of the cane and 30 days of community service for making a TikTok comedy skit on the governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje.
