Reacting, Muslims condemned the use of niqab in the shooting of the movie. According to them, the niqab is not a costume and should not be used to depict negative actions such as a robbery.

They stressed that the hijab and niqab are symbols of modesty and faith, not props for entertainment.

Speaking amdist the controversy, Nancy via her Instagram page on Thursday night shared a series of pictures accompanied by cryptic messages seemingly aimed at addressing the controversy stirred by the use of the niqab in a robbery scene.

She captioned the post, “ISIME BABY!! Omo ologo 5G!!! The brightest light!!!! The city on a hill that can never be hidden!!!!! The Nancy Isime!! Big name, big force!!!”

One of the pictures shows the actress dressed in a black outfit, matching with a black bag and heels. Another picture contains a message reading, “I don’t bother nobody & I’m not bothered by nobody. That’s my peace.”

Recall, the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB)  on Thursday said that it reached out to the producers of the movie.

The board’s director-general Shaibu Husseini assured that the film had not been released nor submitted for classification as required by law.
