Northern filmmakers blacklist Rahama Sadau over controversial dress

The Northern filmmakers under the aegis of Motion Picture Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) has suspended Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau, over a backless dress she wore in recent photos posted online.

According to Vanguard, the body in a statement said the post by the actress has resulted to blasphemous comments against the Holy Prophet of Islam on social media.

This comes after the actress posted a video on Instagram where she apologized and begged Muslim community for forgiveness over the controversy that trailed the dress.

Recall that the apex body of Northern filmmakers had earlier suspended the actress in October of 2016 for similar misconduct. But the Kano State Censors Board under Mallam Ismail Na Abba Afakkallah granted her unconditional pardon in 2018.
