Mufti Shaban Mubaje calls for TikTok ban over misuse
The Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Ramadan Mubaje, is calling on the government to ban the social media app TikTok, stating that it is used by idle people to slander others. He also expressed concern that some Muslim leaders are using the app to spread misleading information to the faithful. His call came during his sermon at the Eid al-Fitr prayers in Old Kampala. The leadership of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council has insisted that they are acting by the constitution to retain Sheikh Shaban Ramadan Mubajje, despite him being 70 years old.
