Nigerian actress Rahama Sadau sorry for 'offensive hug'

Rahama Sadau's appearance in a music video "hugging and cuddling" Nigerian pop star Classiq offended some people.

Ms Sadau said sorry to those she upset, but said her actions were "innocuous".

Hausa films are popular in the mostly Muslim northern Nigeria where it is taboo for men and women to hold hands in public.

The industry, commonly known as Kannywood, has been under fire from conservative Muslim clerics who accuse it of corrupting people's values.
