A Magistrate Court in Kano State has sentenced popular TikTok content creator, Umar Hashim, also known as Tsulange, to one year imprisonment for public indecency.
The court, presided over by Magistrate Hadiza Muhammad Hassan at Gyadi Gyadi, found Hashim guilty of misconduct after he filmed a skit in which he was seen bathing on a public road while wearing a woman’s undergarment.
Delivering judgment, the magistrate handed him a one-year sentence with an option of an ₦80,000 fine.
In addition, the court directed him to pay ₦20,000 to the Kano State Censorship Board to cover the cost of investigation and prosecution.
The Censorship Board had arraigned Hashim in June 2025, following his arrest for what authorities described as an act that violated public decency laws.
