Indecent Dressing: Cleric Accuses Presidency, CP Of Hidding Popular Actress

By GWG Staff

The Islamic cleric, Lawal Gusau who petitioned the Inspector General of Police for the arrest of Northern Nigeria’s leading actress, Rahama Sadau over allegation of indecent exposure has accused yet unnamed presidency officials and a Commissioner of Police of shielding her from Islamic justice.

Gusau had petitioned the IGP alleging that the backless dress that Sadau wore and posted on social media blasphemed Islam.

He had as such requested that she be arrested and made to face Sharia law. Under Sharia law she could be sentenced to death if found guilty.

Ms. Sadau had following the allegations of blasphemy quickly pulled down the pictures and made a tearful apology as she countered those who she said mocked her religion using the pictures.

Speaking to The Punch, Gusau, however, alleged that Sadau sought to flee to Dubai once the controversy blew out and is now in hiding because of the protection from unnamed officials in the presidency.

Gusau who wrote the petition against the popular actress on November 3, 2020 said:

“I am not happy with the way the police are handling the matter. Rahama Sadau was trying to escape and had obtained UAE visas for herself and her family but the police were able to track her phone and arrest her brother who led the policemen to her.

“The policemen from Kaduna State were about to arrest her and take her to the SCID when a phone call from one CP came in and the policemen were asked to leave her alone and that she would report to Kaduna by herself.

“What gave that CP the power to overrule the IG? Now, Rahama has refused to turn herself in. She is being protected by that CP and some people from the Presidential Villa. This is most unfortunate.”
