The convicted individuals—Sumayya Muhammad, Usman Majidadi, and Usman Ibrahim Kalar Kudi—were arraigned by the Kano State Censorship Board on charges of conspiracy, sharing inappropriate content, and posting photos deemed offensive to public morals.

The defendants pleaded guilty to all charges before Magistrate Halima Wali of Court No. 7, sitting at Norman’s Land.
