Arrest of 'Sultana Bihou' Sparks Controversy in Marrakech

The city of Marrakech has witnessed dramatic developments in the case of the content creator known as 'Sultana Bihou', after security services arrested her following digital disputes that escalated into formal complaints and mutual accusations, shifting the confrontation from the 'TikTok' platform to the judicial investigation process.

According to local media reports on Friday, November 6, 2026, the case originated from a dispute between 'Sultana Bihou' and a social media activist known as 'Al-Nahla Al-Fahla' over competition related to an advertising offer for a commercial establishment, before tensions between the two parties escalated through live broadcasts and video clips that sparked widespread engagement.

The confrontation went beyond online verbal abuse, as accusations regarding defamation and threats were circulated, alongside allegations of committing acts punishable by law, which prompted civil society associations to intervene through complaints demanding an investigation to uncover the truth of the circulated events.

According to the published data, the competent authorities have initiated investigation procedures under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor's office, placing the individual concerned in police custody, pending the completion of investigations and the determination of potential legal responsibilities, without this implying that the accusations directed against her have been proven.
