A Tiktok skit maker, Ramlat Princess has been remanded in correction centre by a Sharia Court following her arrest by the Kano State Hisbah Board for claiming to be a lesbian in a video clip.

TrackNews reports that Ms Ramlat was arrested by operatives of the Hisbah command on Thursday, days after a video clip showed her proclaming lesbianism.

It was gathered that the Tiktoker was nabbed after the viral clip drew widespread outrage among social media users, who called for her arrest.

Our reporter learnt that Ms Ramlat was arraigned by the Hisbah Board at the Sharia Court, where she was charged with sharing explicit material on social media and inciting public outrage.

The defendent, who reportedly pleaded guilty to the charges, was remanded in prison by the Sharia Court judge, Sani Tanimu Hausawa.

The judge ordered the Ms Ramlat to be held until Monday, 19 February, when she is expected to receive a summary judgement.

Ms Ramlat, a Ghanaian, who originally resided in Taraba state, had told Hisbah officers that she came to Kano state to visit her elder sister, who lives in Gaida area of Kano city, about a month ago.

In her controversial post, the Tiktoker was shown saying that any man who wanted to marry her must agree to allow her marry her own “wife” before she could agree to the man’s proposal.

“Any man who wants to marry me should know that I must marry my own wife otherwise, I won’t accept him.

“I am a full-pledged lesbian.

“Lesbianism is a beautiful act that I can’t do without,” she had declared in the video.

“Yes I was the one who did the video and posted it. In the video, I said any man who wants to marry me must allow me to also marry my own wife, otherwise I won’t agree to the marriage”.

The arrest of Ms Ramlat came barely two days after another popular Tiktoker, Murja Kunya was arrested by the Hisbah board and charged to court, where she was remanded in prison.
