On June 2, 2024, a TikTok user popularly known as G-Fresh Al-amin was arrested by the Kano State Hisbah Corps at his residence located in the Badawa area of the state at about 1.00pm for allegedly making inappropriate remarks.
Mr. Aliyu Usman, Officer-in-Charge of the Surveillance Unit of the Corps confirmed the arrest. He said: “He has been hiding for long and we have been extending invitations to him. I personally have called him on the phone several times, telling him to come for counselling based on the instructions of the Commandant General but he refused.
We have no option but to go after him and arrest him. He is now in our custody after we got him today (Sunday) in his room and he is undergoing investigation.”
Mr. Usman added that the TikToker was arrested for making inappropriate remarks, reciting Fatiha, the first chapter of the Holy Quran, in an improper manner during the last Sallah celebration.
He stated that G-Fresh would be taken to court the following day.
