A controversy has erupted in Nigeria’s film industry as Sheikh Hamad Labeeb has publicly criticized Femi Adebayo for his role in a movie where Nancy Isime wears a niqab during a robbery scene.
In a viral video, the Muslim cleric expressed strong disapproval, condemning the actor’s involvement as a Muslim from Kwara State.
Sheikh Labeeb claimed that Femi Adebayo directed the film, which made his involvement even more unacceptable.
He casted harsh curses on the movie director, promising to make him regret his actions.
The issue has sparked heated debate on social media, with some opposing religious extremism and others defending artistic freedom.
