A court in northern Nigeria has ordered two TikTok celebrities to marry after they posted videos of themselves passionately kissing, sparking controversy in the socially conservative region. The magistate court instructed Kano's sharia police, the Hisbah, to solemnize the marriage within 60 days.

• Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda were identified as the TikTok influencers.
• The magistrate court ordered the marriage because the couple was "so deeply in love as to make romantic displays on TikTok," according to a judicial spokesman.
• The Kano state government is reportedly planning to purchase a house for the prospective couple.
