Northern filmmakers suspend Actress, Rahama Sadau over photos of her wearing a backless dress
The Northern filmmakers under the aegis of Motion Picture Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) have suspended Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau over photos of her wearing a backless dress.
Rahama had received a lot of backlash from Arewa Twitter on Monday, November 2, after she shared the photos because they termed the dress unIslamic and according to them should never be worn by a public figure like her.
The actress had been suspended for a similar misconduct in 2016, but the Kano State Censors Board under Mallam Ismail Na Abba Afakkallah granted her unconditional pardon in 2018.
Vanguard reports that the Northern filmmakers released a statement saying that the post by the actress had resulted in blasphemous comments against the Holy Prophet of Islam on Twitter and other social media handles.
The actress then released a statement via her Twitter handle condemning the attack on her religion, Islam, and Prophet Mohammed.
Thats why I like Muslims, they don’t wear anything that will expose their body
They did well by suspending her so that it will serve as a lesson to others.
This is their concern
I don’t know actually what they are saying
Let them go settle Abeg
If you are filmmakers, celebrities or theater doesn’t mean that you should be dress indecently. Therefore, you deserve more than that punishment.
The way you dressed is uncultured and you must portrait what the people will see and learn from it.
Celebrities are like an ambassador to the nation and they must be held highly respected but when you dress abnormally it won’t augur well.
She is an actress and a model who is suppose to explore her beauty all over the world but unfortunately she came from a region which sees those things as taboo and unislamic.
They should try and settle their differences.
If you dress indecently like this what would you expect those that are watching your film to gain from it, if you were being punish for this, you deserve more than that.
This is not the first time she will be suspended,she is really a big star in kannywood, I think she has apologise and I know they will forgive her very soon
Those northerners are just full of shit… They always use religion to cover there ugly faces.
Those stupid hypocrite… What they are doing under the disguise of the religious beliefs is very bad….
