The Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board (KSCB) described the series of viral videos in which the duo were seen engaging in romantic displays as indecent.
As reported by The Punch, the court instructed the Kano State Hisbah Board to facilitate the marriage process between the two social media personalities.
Magistrate Wali warned that failure to conduct the marriage within the stipulated period would amount to contempt of court.
The court also ordered the KSCB chairman to supervise the implementation of the marriage order.
According to Daily Trust, the two TikTokers were arraigned before the court in recent weeks for allegedly producing and circulating obscene content on social media.
The court earlier remanded Mai Wushirya in a correctional facility after clips showing him engaging in “immoral and demeaning acts” with the female content creator went viral.
The Censorship Board maintained that the videos violated state laws prohibiting the production and distribution of sexually suggestive or obscene material.

The Kano State Censorship Board endorsed the ruling, highlighting its newly expanded legal power to monitor and regulate social media content for cultural and religious compliance.
The sentence was met with widespread approval from residents, who viewed it as a vital step toward protecting youths from corrupting online influences and upholding societal values.
