The popular actress mostly known for Hausa roles in the Kano film industry known as Kannywood (Hausa-language version of Nollywood), as reported earlier in July 2011 was sentenced to death by the Court of Appeal for killing a male friend.
Reports say Ismail was ‘found missing’ days before she was to be executed, and that the State Prison Service has issued a search order for her capture.
‘The escapee was accused of murder and a high court in Kano ruled that she was guilty and sentenced her accordingly, six people including three female wardens have been arrested and are being investigated for the mysterious disappearance of the convict’, the state’s comptroller of prisons disclosed.
The incident has sparked off an investigation, which has already consumed at least six prison officials.
‘I’m just getting to hear the news, it’s unfortunate, I hope she doesn’t complicate her matter’, President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Segun Arinze told NET in a telephone conversation.
