A Kannywood actress, Ummah Shehu may have landed in trouble over some allegations she levelled against Hisbah, the Islamic police.
She has been summoned by the Kano State Hisbah Board over the allegations.
This happened 24 hours after Hisbah arrested and arraigned her colleague Sadiya Haruna for ‘uploading sexual’ content on her social media platforms.
Harun Sani Ibn Sina, Commandant of the Islamic police, noted that the actress was summoned to prove her claim that Hisbah is not investigating its officials while challenging citizens.
Ummah had levelled the allegation against Hisbah following Haruna’s arrest and arraignment.
The Islamic police commandant in an interview with the BBC said the actress must prove her allegation.
He added that failure to appear before Hisbah, the board will sue her for slander.
Ibn Sina said: “We’ve not declared her a wanted person; what we’re saying is that she’ll submit herself to us and clarify the allegations she made against us for the general public to know.
“If what she’s said is factual and accurate, it demands further investigation. But if she fails to convince us, we will sue her for libel.”
