The embattled Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau, on Tuesday, denied reports that she has been sentenced to death for blasphemy and the controversies that trailed her gown.

An associate of the actress on Saturday confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that the actress was disallowed from leaving the country.

Sadau was on her way to Dubai with her family but was asked to honour an invitation from the Kaduna police commissioner.

But the actress would later deny receiving an invitation from the police in a Twitter thread.

‘“I haven’t received any police invitation or court trial. I’m reiterating this to well-wishers that I’m safe and fine and I have never received any legal trial for whatever reason. To those trying to bank on this issue to create unrest, Please give it a rest,” her tweet partly read.

The actress also pleaded with fans and the public to stop spreading “fake” news about her.

“I have received many messages that I have been arrested and sentenced to jail earlier today. I have no idea where the news emanated from. I’m therefore calling on people to stop spreading FAKE and unfounded stories. It’s indeed a hard time for me. This is not the right time for FAKE NEWS. Much love to those who reached out, I’m grateful,” she said.
