The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested three female TikTok content creators, including Amani Ishaq, over videos they allegedly shared on social media that the board considers contrary to Islamic teachings and moral standards.

The other two women were identified as Hauwa Khamis and Sa’adatu Muhammad, according to a report published by Daily Times Nigeria on October 24, 2026.

The board’s Deputy Commander, Dr Mujahid Aminuddeen, confirmed the arrests, saying the women had been arraigned before Magistrate Court No. 5 on Court Road in Kano.

The case remains ongoing, with investigations continuing to determine the next steps, the report said.

The board specifically accused Ishaq of posting dance videos on TikTok that allegedly contained material inconsistent with what it described as proper upbringing and Islamic teachings.

Hisbah said the content was considered offensive to public morality and contrary to the values it is mandated to uphold in Kano State.

However, details of the specific charges against the three women were not disclosed in the report.

The arrests come amid the Hisbah Board’s continued efforts to regulate behaviour and social media content it considers indecent or inconsistent with Islamic values.

The board has previously taken action against other content creators over videos it alleged violated religious and moral standards.

Its officials have said their interventions are intended to discourage content they consider vulgar or harmful to public morals, while the board’s actions have also generated debate about freedom of expression and the regulation of online content.

As of the time of the report, details of the women’s bail conditions and the next hearing date had not been made public.

The allegations against Ishaq, Khamis and Muhammad remain subject to the ongoing legal process.
