“As good faith requires an answer, I wish to make clear that, at all material time, I did not leak the alleged video in circulation on social media and to the best of my knowledge, I do not know who leaked the video.

“As a Muslim, I know that it is against the Holy Qur’an the and teachings of our Noble Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) to spread out or expose wrongful action/deeds of another to the public, more especially
on social media with sole aim of causing harm.

Failure to do so, I will be left sympathize with other options but to take proper legal step to protect my hard earned reputation and personality in question because of your false allegations.

“Finally, I wish to sympathize with the victim and urge her to investigate the source of the leaked video in circulation and take proper legal action to ensure justice against the perpetrators.”

Colleagues of the actress including Ali Nuhu, Sani Danja, Rahama Sadau, Falalu Dorayi, Usman Uzee, Nafeesat Abdullahi wrote on their pages calling for the actress to be strong and calm while the investigation is ongoing.
