Kanywood actress, Amal Umar, was arraigned before Magistrate Court No. 24 in Gyadi-Gyadi area of Kano metropolis over an alleged attempt to bribe a law enforcement officer.
The actress was accused of attempted bribery involving the sum of ₦250,000 offered to a police officer identified as ASP Salisu Bujama of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Zone 1 headquarters in Kano State.
According to the prosecutor, the alleged bribe was aimed at halting Police investigation into alleged financial misappropriation perpetrated by the actress’ boyfriend, identified as Ramadan Inuwa.
The saga unfolded when a complaint was filed by one Alhaji Yusuf Adamu through his lawyer, H.I. Dederi, to Assistant Inspector General (AIG), Umar Mohd Sanda, on August 18, 2022, detailing how Ramadan Inuwa allegedly misappropriated a substantial amount of money, totalling ₦40million, in his cell phone business.
The petition led to a subsequent police investigation, which revealed that ₦13million was transferred to the Kannywood actress Amal Umar’s bank account by inuwa.
According to the spokesperson for the Nigerian Police Force, Zone 1, Kano, CP Bashir Muhammed, the actress was consequently summoned for questioning and was thereafter granted bail, but was not allowed to leave in a car allegedly purchased by her boyfriend.
The actress confessed that the money in her bank account belonged to her boyfriend, though she claimed that he only transferred ₦8million to her.
