An actress in the Hausa film industry fondly called Kannywood, Rahma Sadau, has been suspended from acting.

Her ban from the industry was announced by the Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN).

The body came heavy on her for publicly claiming she was stopped from acting in an Adam A Zango's movie 'Duniya Makaranta', after rejecting his alleged love advances.

MOPPAN's Executive Secretary, Malam Dahiru Ahmad Beli, who made the announcement, warned that the board will not censor any movie featuring the suspended actress. He explained that the decision to ban Rahma was taken at a stakeholders' meeting held on April 23, 2015.
