A Kano State Shari’a Court ordered on Tuesday that Kano Tiktoker Murja Kunya be taken to a government hospital for a mental evaluation.
The defendant, who lives at Tishama Hotoro Quarters in Kano, is standing trial on a three-count charge of inciting public disturbance, belonging to a criminal gang, and criminal intimidation.
Delivering a ruling, Judge Malam Nura Yusuf-Ahmad ordered that the defendant be taken to a public hospital to ascertain her mental health due to suspected drug influence.
“The defendant’s previous appearance shows she is allegedly not in a sound state of mind due to suspected drug influence.
” Hisbah board should be updating the court time to time on her well-being for three months.”
Yusuf-Ahmad adjourned the matter until May for a hearing.
Earlier, the Prosecutor Prosecution Counsel, Mr. Aliyu Abideen, said the Kano State Hisbah Board arrested the defendant after receiving several complaints from members of the public.
He alleged that the defendant usually terrorizes Tishama Hotoro Quarters, Kano, by bringing bad boys at midnight and also disturbs the area by inciting disturbance and using social media to disturb members of the public.
“The defendant in one of her videos on Tiktok, which went viral, said she is the leader of all prostitute in the city.”
The defendant, however, denied committing the offence.
According to the prosecutor, the offence contravened sections 341, 275, and 227 of Kano State Shari’a Law.(NAN)
