In Kano, a Magistrate Court sitting at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport has jailed a popular ex-Kannywood actress, Sadiya Haruna for six months.
Sadiya will spend the entire six months in the Correctional facility as her sentence was without an option of fine.
She was charged for defaming her former boyfriend and singer singer in the film industry, Isa A. Isa, in a viral video.
Among the defamation charges against her was her allegation against Isah that he is a “homosexual, bastard and an unrepentant womaniser.”
She further alleged that the actor demanded anal sex from her which she declined.
In August 2021, a Sharia court sitting in Kano state convicted Sadiya of obscenity and indecent act after she was arraigned for uploading sexual contents on her social media handles.
The actress and social media blogger was arrested by the Kano State Hisbah board for allegedly sharing sexual content on her handles.
Kano State under the current governor, Abdullahi Umar Gaduje has been operating Sharia laws with Islamic religious Police called Hisbah enforcing Sharia laws.
