A Kannywood actress, Safiyya Yusuf, popularly known as Safara’u Kwaa Casain, has accused her friends and associates of releasing her nude video on the internet.
According to Safara’u, she has never sent any of her nude pictures or videos to anybody.
The actress in an interview with BBC Hausa on Tuesday also debunked the rumour that she is a lesbian.
Safara’u further stated that she recorded the nude video herself, but it was not meant to be shared with anyone.
She said, “70 per cent of ladies nowadays have such types of videos on their phones. It is just done for fun, not to go on social media and many ladies do that. I can’t specifically say the person that released the video, but all I know is that it must be among my friends and associates that used to take my phone. Because I used to give them my phone.
“I was deeply shocked when I saw the video and how it went viral all over the world. In fact, when I received the news I could not stand on my feet. I experienced a lot of challenges, people were mocking me. There was a time that someone even stoned me, all because of that video. I had to spend three months indoors without going near the gate of our house.”
She noted that she almost deactivate her social media accounts, but her parents advised her not to.
