G-Fresh al-Amin, a popular TikToker, has been arrested by operatives of the Hisbah Command in Kano state. Usman said G-Fresh was arrested around 1 pm at his residence in the Badawa area of the state. He said the TikToker was arrested for allegedly making inappropriate remarks. G-Fresh was said to have recited Fatiha, the first chapter of the Quran, improperly during the last Salah celebration.
“He has been hiding for long and we have been extending invitations to him. I 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 and is undergoing investigation,”Aliyu Usman, chairman and officer in charge of operation ‘Kai da Badala’ surveillance, said while confirming the arrest.
Usman said G-Fresh will be charged to court on Monday.
The Kano Hisbah Board has in recent times arrested and remanded several TikTok users in the state for violating Islamic laws. In February, Murja Kunya was arrested and remanded in prison over allegations that she was involved in immoral acts.
