Adiba Hayah, a Muslim woman, has expressed her concerns and disappointment on TikTok regarding Nollywood actress Nancy Isime’s use of the Niqob in an upcoming movie project
Nancy had shared photos from the project on Instagram, depicting herself and cast members wearing Niqobs in a robbery scene.
Adiba emphasized that the Niqob is a symbol of religious commitment, modesty, and righteousness, and should not be used as a costume to promote negative themes.
She noted the challenges faced by Muslims and urged respect for their faith, suggesting alternative face coverings could have been used in the scene.
Adiba’s comments sparked a discussion about cultural sensitivity and representation in media.
