TikToker Khadija Remanded for Defaming Kano Politician
Khadija was arraigned before the Upper Sharia Court in Kano, presided over by Justice Garba Malafa, following a charge filed by the police for alleged defamation of MD Hassan, a politician from Nassarawa Local Government Area. The charges stemmed from a TikTok video in which Khadija reportedly made derogatory remarks about Hassan, referring to him as a “prostitute’s son.” Upon being read the charges, Khadija pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Barrister Awaisu Sani Lawan, requested an adjournment to allow the prosecution to present its witnesses at the next court session. The court subsequently ordered Khadija to be remanded in a correctional facility and scheduled the next hearing for October 14, 2026, for her re-arraignment and continuation of proceedings.
