Hafsat Baby was arrested by the Hisbah board after the scandal of her nude video raised the dust.
The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested a young TikTok influencer, Hafsat Babu, known as Hafsat Baby, following the release of a nude video that has caused an uproar in the state.
The Commander-in-Chief of Hisbah, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, confirmed her arrest, citing her notoriety for spreading inappropriate content on the social media platform.
Sheikh Daurawa on Monday released the video of the young woman among other women who were arrested by the agency and brought to his office, but he did not give any further information.
Hafsat Baby was arrested by the Hisbah board after the scandal of her nude video raised the dust.
A video of Hafsat Baby in a compromising state surfaced shortly after she posted a conversion video on TikTok, in which she announced the deletion of all her previous controversial content.
The announcement came after she received guidance from Hisbah regarding her activities on the platform.
In response to the leaked nude video, Hafsat Baby claimed in an audio message on TikTok that it was filmed over two years ago.
She expressed confusion over how the footage became public, insisting that she had deleted it from her phone and hadn’t shared it with anyone.
She explained that the video originated from a Snapchat photo she took after stepping out of the shower, which she did not save or send to anyone.
The controversy intensified following comments from Babiana Queen of Update, a popular TikTok personality, who alleged that the video was released by individuals who had threatened her for money after she refused to comply.
