The Upper Sharia Court sitting at the Post Office area of Kano State has ordered the remand of Khadija Muhammad, popularly known as ‘Yar Lele’, in a correctional facility over alleged defamation and harassment.
Khadija was brought before the court by the police and appeared before Justice Garba Malafa.
She is accused of posting a video allegedly containing statements capable of affecting the reputation of MD Hassan, a politician from Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State.
The charges were read to the defendant, to which she pleaded not guilty.
The prosecution counsel, Barrister Awaisu Sani Lawan, asked the court for additional time to present witnesses and other evidence in support of the case.
After hearing submissions from both the prosecution and defence, the court ordered that Khadija be remanded in a correctional facility.
The case was subsequently adjourned until October 14, 2026, for further proceedings.
