Recent accusations against an individual residing at Tishama Hotoro Quarters in Kano have hit the headlines. The accused faces a three-part charge: inciting public disturbance, belonging to a criminal group and criminal intimidation.
During the recent hearing, Judge Nura Yusuf-Ahmad ruled that the accused should be taken to a public hospital to check his mental state, which is suspected of being impaired by the influence of drugs.
“Previous appearances by the accused indicate that she does not appear to be in full control due to the possible influence of narcotics. Hisbah counsel should keep the court informed of her mental state for three months.”
Yusuf-Ahmad postponed the matter until May for further consideration.
According to prosecutor Aliyu Abideen, the Kano State Hisbah Board arrested the accused following numerous complaints from local people.
It was alleged that the accused terrorized the Tishama Hotoro area of Kano by bringing in unwanted individuals at midnight, disrupting public peace and using social media to sow trouble among residents.
“Notably, in one of her Tiktok videos that went viral, the accused proclaimed herself the leader of all the prostitutes in the city.”
However, the accused denied the accusations against her.
This case is causing a stir and raises questions about public safety and the use of social networks to incite harmful behavior. This highlights the importance of vigilance by authorities and the need to combat such disruptive actions.
