An Islamic scholar, Lawal Gusau, who wrote a petition against the northern actress, Rahama Sadau, has narrated to The PUNCH how the police were able to track her phone and prevent her from fleeing to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Gusau, who is also a security expert, had written a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, on November 3, 2020, demanding that Sadau be investigated for posting a photo of herself wearing a backless gown.
According to the petitioner, the indecent photo attracted blasphemous comments against Prophet Mohammed and this was capable of setting the country on fire on a scale that would make the #EndSARS riots seem like a child’s play.
He said after the IG received the petition, an order was given to the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Umar Muri, to investigate the matter but things did not go smoothly because Sadau was in Abuja.
Gusau told the Punch that the Kaduna CP sent his men to Abuja to pick her up but she went into hiding and quickly obtained a UAE visa with members of her family in order to flee the country.
The petitioner said when the police got a wind of the situation, they began monitoring her calls and were able to arrest her brother.
He said it was her brother who subsequently led the policemen to Sadau.
Gusau stated that while the policemen were attempting to arrest her, an unidentified Commissioner of Police asked the cops to stand down and promised that Sadau would report to Kaduna the next day.
The Islamic scholar, however, said rather than report herself to the Kaduna State police command, the actress again went into hiding.
He said it was unfortunate that a CP could hinder the arrest of Sadau despite the IG’s order that she be investigated.
