The Nigerian social media space is discussing another alleged private-video scandal, this time involving a Hausa/Northern woman identified online as Halima Shehu. Over the past few hours, her name has appeared across X, TikTok, and Facebook after random accounts began circulating claims about an alleged leaked intimate video.

However, much of the story remains unclear. Some Hausa-language TikTok and Facebook posts have even shared “RIP Halima Shehu” banners, while other users claim she is alive and recently posted or appeared online. At the time of writing, there is no reliable mainstream confirmation of her death, marriage status, or the full background of the allegation.
