A Canadian YouTuber known as Fique Wamiq Ayub has been arrested after uploading video evidence of himself and friends causing widespread panic inside a movie theater by shouting “he has a g*n” at unsuspecting moviegoers.
Fique has built his following over several years by harassing minimum wage workers and making people uncomfortable in public spaces. The incident in question involved Fique and a group of companions entering a movie theater and periodically yelling “he has a g*n” into crowded screening rooms, sending patrons into genuine fear for their safety.
Police were called to the scene and questioned Fique and his associates but ultimately released them, finding insufficient evidence to formally connect them to the outburst. That changed swiftly when Fique uploaded the footage to his YouTube channel.
According to sources, Fique and his friends entered a movie theater and began shouting that someone had a g*n, triggering panic. Police were then called to the scene and questioned the group. But at the time there was not enough evidence to directly connect them to the disturbance, so they were released. That changed when Fique later uploaded the footage to YouTube, effectively providing clear evidence of what had happened.
The footage showed Fique and his friends disrupting moviegoers throughout the theater and also captured the moment police arrived and began questioning the group. In the video, Fique attempted to deflect blame, claiming that fans in the audience were responsible: “I basically have a supporter in there and they say they’re trolling me when I’m trying to do my video because I have kind of a fan base and they come up to me and they say he has g*n and they’re screaming in the theater saying that because they know my name and then they got me in trouble. But really I’m not saying anything to harm. They said leave, we are leaving. ”
The Durham Regional Police Department was unconvinced. On April 7th, Fique, a companion named Jaden, and an unnamed 17-year-old were arrested and charged with causing a disturbance and mischief. Both charges carry potential penalties of up to two years in prison under Canadian law, though legal observers suggest the group is far more likely to face fines than any jail time.
Movie theaters have historically been targeted in mass casualty events, a fact that made the stunt particularly alarming for those present.
