Popular Kannywood actress, Amal Umar, found herself in hot water when she was brought before a Magistrate Court No. 24 in Gyadi-Gyadi area of Kano metropolis, located in the bustling city of Kano State, Nigeria.
The Allegations
The actress was accused of attempted bribery involving the sum of N250,000 offered to a police officer identified as ASP Salisu Bujama of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Zone 1 headquarters in Kano State. The alleged bribe was intended to halt Police investigation into alleged financial misappropriation perpetrated by the actress’ boyfriend, Ramadan Inuwa.
The Origins of the Case
The saga began when a complaint was lodged by one Alhaji Yusuf Adamu through his lawyer, H.I. Dederi, to the Assistant Inspector General (AIG), Umar Mohd Sanda, on August 18, 2022. The complaint detailed how Ramadan Inuwa allegedly misappropriated a substantial amount of money, totalling N40million, in his cell phone business. This prompted a police investigation which uncovered that N13million was transferred to Amal Umar’s bank account by Inuwa.
Legal Proceedings
After being summoned for questioning, Amal Umar was granted bail but was not allowed to leave in a car allegedly purchased by her boyfriend. She admitted that the money in her bank account belonged to her boyfriend, claiming he only transferred N8million to her. Seeking legal intervention, she approached the High Court of Kano State to halt further police investigations against her. The court temporarily restrained the police from pursuing the case, leading to an alleged attempt by Amal Umar to bribe the police investigator, ASP Salisu Bujama.
Arrest and Arraignment
The police thwarted the bribery attempt and arrested Amal Umar with evidence of the alleged offence. This resulted in her arraignment before the Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. The offence committed by the actress violates Section 118 of the Penal Code, which prohibits the bribery of a police officer.
As the case unfolds in the vibrant city of Kano, the Kannywood actress faces legal repercussions for her involvement in the alleged bribery attempt. The incident has sparked public interest and raised questions about the ethics of those in the entertainment industry.
