Recall that the Motion pictures Practitioners
Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) recently announced the expulsion of the
famous actress from the Hausa movie industry, Kannywood for what the
association termed as immoral appearances in a music video.
News of the expulsion was contained in a press statement issued and signed by MOPPAN secretary,
Salisu Mohammed.
The statement said the decision to expel the
actress was taken after an emergency meeting, by all guilds that make up
the association.
It read: “Sequel to the recent meeting in which a
resolution reached by all guilds and associations under the unified body
of MOPPAN, Rahama Sadau has been expelled from the Hausa indigenous
film industry popularly known as Kannnywood. This is as a result of her
recent immoral appearance in a certain video song where she appeared in
series of visuals (video and pictorial) hugging and cuddling the music artiste, ClassiQ in his newly released video,” said the statement.
