Court Orders Mental Evaluation Of Kano Tiktoker, Murja Kunya
A Kano State Shari’a Court sitting at Gama PRP, presided over by Khadi Nura Yusuf-Ahmed ordered Tiktoker, Murja Kunya, to be taken to a Government hospital for a mental evaluation.
It is recalled that the defendant is standing trial on a three-count charge of inciting public disturbance, belonging to a criminal gang and criminal intimidation.
It is also recalled that “The defendant in one of her videos on Tiktok which went viral said she is the leader of all prostitutes in the city”
While delivering the ruling, Justice Yusuf-Ahmad, ordered that the defendant be taken to a public hospital to ascertain her mental health due to suspected drug influence.
According to the Judge, “The defendant’s previous appearance shows she is allegedly not in a sound state of mind due to suspected drug influence.
He then stated that “The Hisbah board should be updating the court from time to time on her well-being for three months”
The Judge then adjourned the matter until May for a hearing.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Barrister Aliyu Abideen, said the Kano State Hisbah Board arrested the defendant after receiving several complaints from members of the public.
The Prosecutor further stated that the defendant usually terrorizes Tishama Hotoro Quarters Kano by bringing bad boys at midnight and also disturbs the area by inciting disturbance and using social media to disturb members of the public.
She, however, denied committing the offence.
The prosecutor, therefore, disclosed that the offence contravened sections 341, 275 and 227 of the Kano State Shari’a Law.

LET THE CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE BE*
The hurriedly written press statement by the embattled Patrick Osadebamwen and OCHIAKA UGWU recently impeached as Exco of the FCT Council of the NUJ is really sad, appalling and completely unwarranted.
It is a brazen attempt by them to usurp the powers of the National Secretariat of the Union.
Article 5(9c, d) of the NUJ Constitution is so unambiguous that does not need any interpretation.
Article 5 sub section 9(C) states inter alia; “The Credentials Committee at the National level shall act independently of the President, National Secretary and any other National Officers, while the Credentials Committee at the State Council level shall be independent of State officers of the Union but shall be responsible and answerable to the National Secretariat.
5 (9d) The Credentials Committee at the State Council level shall be nominated by the State Congress subject to the approval of the National Secretariat.”
From the constitutional provisions, it is clear that the Committee is not in any materia particula answerable to any ‘Executive’ Committee member of the Council but the National Secretariat. And not to the already impeached Patrick-led Exco.
It is more worrisome that this so-called cut and join chairman is oblivious of the constitution he swore to defend. What do you expect of a place -holder chairman?
More importantly, since the National Secretariat has communicated with the Committee to go ahead with its mandate, the outgoing ‘Executive’ Committee has no locus standi in the matter whatsoever.
It is also an irony to note that the outgoing Chairman and Secretary could shamelessly claim that our respected former Chairman of Council, Mr AMOS DUNIA took over proceedings of the Extraordinary Congress. Both officers are obviously having selective amnesia. It’s appears they forgot how they came cap-in-hand to beg former leaders to come to their rescue. What can be farther than the truth. Whereas, members were told at the beginning of the Monday Extraordinary Congress that the Committee of elders and former Chairmen of Council, mandated MR. DUNIA to conduct the affairs of the Congress following the VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE passed on the Patrick Osadebamwen-led Executive by the Congress the preceding Saturday.
It is really shameful that an Executive that was saved from being disgraced and booted out of office can still have the temerity to openly and outrightly dish out tissues of lies to the public. What a shame!
The question to ask remains, if Patrick Osadebamwen and OCHIAKA UGWU who has indicated interest in contesting the election, now want to act and take decisions on behalf of the National Secretariat.
Members are aware of the antics and game being played to cover up shady deals perpetrated these past six years and we are watching.
We say NO to the attempt to usurp the constitutional role of the National Secretariat by Patrick Osadebamwen and OCHIAKA UGWU.
Enough is enough!
