The Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu has ordered an investigation into the controversy generated by the photos that were shared by actress Rahama Sadau.

Premium Times reported that the investigation is to ensure that the controversies generated from the photos did not threaten public peace and security.

A man identified as Lawal Gusau had reportedly sent a petition to IGP complaining that if the police did not quickly step into the matter, especially because a blasphemous comment against the holy prophet was made on the actress' photos, it might degenerate into a serious crisis.
