Nigerian Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Umar Muri, to investigate Kannywood actress, Rahma Sadau.
Rahma Sadau caused a commotion earlier this week for posting a photo of herself on social media.
She was wearing a backless dress and not covering her hair in contravention of Islamic canons.

The probe is sequel to a petition written to the Inspecter General of police by one Mallam Lawal Gusau.
Sadau, who has been banned by the northern movie industry, had on Monday posted the photo which caused a heated debate on social media.
Many northern Islamic elements had criticised the actress and threatened to attack her. While others lampooned them for being too strict on conventional matters.
However, the actress subsequently deleted the picture and apologised to her fans that are mainly from northern Nigeria. But many blamed her for attracting negative comments towards Islam.
In a letter signed by the Principal Staff Officer to the IG, Idowu Owohunwa, the CP of Kaduna State was ordered to look into the matter.
