The founder of Kaduna International Film Festival (KADIFF), Audu Israel Kashim has paid a condolence visit to the Emir of Zazzau, HRH Amb. Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli over the collapse of a section of the iconic Zaria Central Mosque on Friday 11th August 2023.
During the visit, Audu prayed for the injured. He said; “May the Almighty God grant them quick recovery and for the deceased may Allah grant them Jannatul Firdaus.”
He also used the opportunity to invite the Emir to the 6th Kaduna International Film Festival scheduled to hold next week from 22nd – 26th August 2023. He also told him that his palace will be one of the tourist locations to visit during this year’s Kaduna International Film Festival.
In his response the Emir appreciated the founder of KADIFF for the visit and the condolences assuring him of his presence during the 6th Kaduna International Film Festival opening ceremony.
While emphasizing on the need for promoting and writing their local stories, either in film or literature. He urged that film makers should tell the true stories highlighting “Queen Amina” on Netflix which in his words did not really tell the true historic events.
Audu was joined by some of this year’s festival organizing team, Johnson Erakpotobor, Terry Nyam, Tata Empress, Crack Samuel, Jonah Fujuno, Junior Tamba, Stella Abiodun and Maina lbrahim.
