How my marriage with Fati Muhammed crashed – Sani Iska Haladu
Story from Saleh INUWA, Kano
Sani Iska Haladu, one of the longstanding actors in Kannywood, recently shared the story of his failed marriage with the renowned Kannywood actress, Fati Muhammed, during a BBC Hausa interview.
He recounted their journey, which began after they acted together in the 1998 film “Dashen Allah,” where their on-screen chemistry blossomed into real-life love.
They eventually tied the knot. However, their relationship faced significant challenges, leading to their separation and Fati’s untimely demise.
Sani Iska Haladu still carries the burden of this painful memory.
However, his most challenging experience came when he married the stunning Fulani actress from Yola, Fati Muhammed, who would later become the catalyst for their fortune.
Just two months into their marriage, an opportunity arose for Fati to participate in an HIV advertisement campaign sponsored by USAID and DFID.
They required one representative from the North, and Fati was selected. The shoot was scheduled to take place in the UK. Wanting to be together, Fati insisted that her husband, Sani Iska, accompany her for the project. Together, they completed the advert in a mere seven days.
After the campaign, Fati expressed her desire to return to Nigeria immediately. However, Sani Iska had enrolled in a program in the UK and, being primarily educated in Islamic studies, he decided to stay behind.
Fati, who was the highest-paid actress in Kano at the time, was adamant about leaving the UK. Consequently, Sani Iska decided, in accordance with Islamic principles, to divorce her.
Subsequently, Sani Iska found himself enamored with a white lady named Serah. He completed his program in the UK and intended to return to Kano with Serah, who had even agreed to convert to Islam.
However, upon their arrival in Nigeria, Serah struggled to adapt to the harsh weather conditions, leading her to return to the UK. Although they did not formally separate, the geographical distance made it impractical for them to continue their relationship.
Ali Nuhu, a close friend to Fati in Kannywood, made numerous attempts to reconcile the couple. However, Fati refused his efforts and eventually fell in love with Lawal Ahmad, the producer of the Hausa series “Izzar So.”
Despite their plans to marry, their relationship faced insurmountable obstacles, and Fati ended up marrying Umar Kanu, the elder brother of popular Hausa singer Ali Jita. Unfortunately, their union faced opposition from Umar’s parents, who believed that all Hausa actresses lacked moral integrity.
Once again, Fati’s marriage crumbled, prompting her to join Atiku’s Presidential Campaign Team.
After residing in a rented apartment for two years, she returned to Kano to resume her acting career. However, due to intense criticism, she decided to put her acting on hold.
Despite her accomplishments, Fati has never given birth.
In his BBC Hausa interview, Sani Iska Haladu expressed his willingness to reconcile with her if the need arises. However, Fati was quoted as saying that she would never return to poverty in her current position.
