Kannywood actress Sadia Haruna has been sentenced to six months in Islamic school by a Sharia court in Kano State for ‘displaying sexual contents’ on her social media handles.
It was reported that Haruna was arrested on Friday by Malam Aliyu Usman, the head of the surveillance department of Kano State.
She was then detained in the custody of the Islamic police until early Monday when she was brought before the Sharia court sitting in Sharada area of the state.
According to reports filed against her, the actress allegedly uploaded indecent videos that showed her dancing seductively and making sexual comments on her social media handles.
The movie star pleaded guilty to a one-count charge of obscenity and indecent act, which contradicts section 355 of Penal Code Law 2000.
Justice Ali Jibril Danzaki, the presiding judge thereafter convicted her and ordered her to be attending a Darul Hadith Islamiyya session at Tudun Yola Quarters for a period of six months as the sentencing for her offence.
He also said that her Islamiyya attendance would be monitored by the school head teacher and the Hisbah command.
