Haruna had in a viral video, accused Isa of being a homosexual, a bastard and an unrepentant womaniser.

She alleged that the actor, Isa, demanded anal sex from her in the viral Instagram post.

The judge further ruled that in case Haruna continued to defame Isa, she would be sentenced to three years in prison.

He said the actress had up to three months to appeal the judgement.

In August 2021, a Sharia court sitting in Kano state convicted her of obscenity and indecent acts.

In 2019, Haruna had accused Isa of initiating her into “short term marriage”, while she continued to share his videos on her Instagram page.
