KANO: Skit makers jailed for ‘criticising’ Ganduje

TWO TikTok skit makers, Mubarak Muhammad (Uniquepikin) and Nazifi Muhammad, have been remanded in prison custody for allegedly defaming the character of the governor of Kano, Abdullahi Ganduje, in one of their comedy skits.

According to Daily Nigerian, the duo made a skit depicting Ganduje as a corrupt politician who sold every available public plot of land in the state.

They were arraigned by the police before Magistrate Court 58, Nomansland, presided by Magistrate Aminu Gabari.

When the charges were read to them, the two TikTokers pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and defamation of character of the governor.

The magistrate, therefore, ordered that they be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case till November 7 for the passing of sentence.
