The Kannywood industry and its followers are still remembering and mourning the death of popular singer El’mu’az Birniwa, who passed away on Wednesday night, December 4, 2024 in Kaduna.
The nature of the singer’s sudden death made his mourning take time, as is the case when there is a sudden death.
Singer El-Mu’aza joined the ranks of the likes of Saratu Daso, Mustapha Waye and director Aminu S. Bono in making the death of Fujua.
At the same time that we say goodbye to 2024, the BBC has gathered some of the industry that left the world that year.
Here are some of the most noteworthy:
Fatima Sa’id (Bintu)
On Sunday, February 11, 2024, God made the heroine Fatima Sa’id, better known as Bintu Dadin Kowa, pass away.

Hajiya Saratu’s tragic death has shocked the Kannywood industry and all Hausa movie watchers in the world.
The star who played roles without fear or doubt in movies will be remembered, and her jokes.
She is one of the people who often comments on everything that BBC Hausa has published on social media.
Fati Usman
In May 2024, the news of the death of former Kannywood actress, Fatima Usman, better known as Fati Slow Motion, was reported.
Fati died in the Ouaddai region of Chad, and was buried there.
Her relatives told the BBC that she died after a few days of treatment.
Although at the time of her death she did not often appear in movies, but she was one of those who rose in the early years of the Kannywood industry.
Recently, she has been on social media, where she allowed people to use the word ‘kebura’.
