A Nigerian court has ordered TikTok personalities Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda to marry within 60 days, after the pair portrayed themselves as lovers in a series of viral comedy skits. The Kano Magistrate Court ruled that the two should 'formalise' their relationship after authorities deemed their viral videos to contain 'immoral' exchanges that drew millions of views.
The ruling from the Kano Magistrate Court sparked widespread shock online, with many criticising the idea of legally compelling marriage — but the Hisbah Board has since stepped in to cancel the directive.
