Following her arrest four days ago, TikTok skit maker, Murja Ibrahim Kunya, who was arraigned at a Shariah court sitting in Filin Hockey area of the Kano metropolis has been ordered to remain in a correctional center.

Murja Ibrahim Kunya was arraigned on allegations of defamation of character, vulgarity, public nuisance, and breach of public peace.

The defamation charge was added to the count following a complaint filed by two other Tik Tokers: Aisha Najamu and Idris Maiwushirya, accusing Murja of defaming their character.

After all the charges were read to the accused by the prosecuting counsel, Lamido Sorondinki, she pleaded not guilty.

Thereafter, Murja’s lawyer, Yasir Musa moved an application for her bail but was opposed by the prosecution counsel.
