Arrest of Niba's Son by Anti-Gang Unit in Marrakech
In a surprising turn of events, the son of renowned YouTuber Niba, known as Shihab Al-Alawi, has been arrested by the anti-gang unit of the Marrakech police. The arrest took place on June 20, 2026, in the Daoudiat neighborhood of Marrakech, following accusations of stealing a small taxi. This incident occurred just as Morocco was about to face Scotland in the World Cup, creating a considerable buzz on social media.
The arrest followed a week-long manhunt during which police conducted extensive surveillance in the area where Niba resides. Authorities received a tip-off suggesting that Al-Alawi would visit his family's home in Daoudiat to watch the match. Acting swiftly, the anti-gang unit set up a security cordon in anticipation of his arrival.
As the match was about to kick off, the suspect was spotted near his father's house. Security personnel quickly apprehended him as he attempted to enter the premises to join his family for the game. Following his arrest, the public prosecutor was notified, and Al-Alawi was placed in police custody pending further judicial proceedings.
