A Kano-based Hausa film actress known as Baby Hiyana was shown in a sex scene and this has caused a public outcry and has incurred the wrath of Muslim clerics in the North who said she must be dealt with if found guilty according to Shari’a law.

A video showing the popular Hausa actress said to be from Bauchi State, and her boyfriend (name withheld), has been widely circulated and it shows the mother of two children from an earlier marriage having sex and murmuring sweet words to her millionaire lover.

The lovers were completely naked and had several rounds of sex and were regularly praising each other in Hausa. The actress is now in hiding after the eight-minute mobile phone clip was circulated across the north.

An anonymous source said Hiyana was paid a big fee and a car after the movie was shot in Lagos.

She may want to take that car for a ride to the border!
