Kannyood actress, Hadiza Aliyu, known as Hadiza Gabon, on Wednesday dragged one Bala Musa, a civil servant, to a Magistrates’ court sitting at Daura road, Kaduna over alleged defamation of character.
The actress, who spoke through her counsel, Mr Mubarak Sani, said she had suffered negative reactions and comments from the public due to the defendant’s false allegations against her.
He added that people, especially on social media, called Aliyu a cheat who had refused to marry Musa after collecting his money, an allegation “which was proved to be false.”
The complainant’s counsel had presented a copy of the bank statement to the Shari’a court and told the court that some four persons were the recipients of the money claimed to have been sent to the defendant.
Two out of the four, Fatima Abdullahi and Abdullahi Yusuf claimed to be the defendant’s friend and personal assistant.
They pleaded guilty for impersonating the actress and receiving money in her name, praying the court to forgive them.
After a series of prayers by Murtala, to transfer the case to an Upper Sharia Court, the Judge then, Isiyaku Abdulrahman, on October 31, dismissed the case and discharged Aliyu.
He ordered the defendant counsel and his client to pay N500,000 to the actress for wasting her time.
