KANO: Shariah court orders probe of Buhari’s praise singer over video

A SHARIAH court in Kano has ordered the Police to investigate President Buhari’s praise singer and popular musician for the All Progressives Congress, Dauda Kahutu, popularly known as Rarara, for featuring a 20-year-old married woman, Maryam Muhammad, in one of his music videos.

Giving his ruling, the judge, Sarki Yola, said the claim that the musician was not aware of Maryam’s marital status before featuring her in the said video is not strong enough to dismiss the suit filed by Maryam’s husband.

The court, therefore, asked the Divisional Police Officer, Kwali Police Station to investigate the matter and present his findings to the court.

The woman’s husband, Abdulkadir Inuwa, had filed a suit before the court, alleging that the singer eloped with his wife and featured her in a recent music video, titled, ‘Jihata, Jihata ce.’

Maryam, who is married to Inuwa, allegedly left home few months after her marriage, without the knowledge of her husband before surfacing in the said video.

Counsel for Rarara asked the court to dismiss the case, as no investigation had been done by the police on the claims of the husband but the judge asked the police to summon the singer and his producer with a view to investigating the veracity of the claims.
