The Kano State Censorship Board has suspended popular Kannywood actress Samha Inuwa for one year due to “inappropriate” dressing and the use of “offensive language” in some of her videos.
According to a statement from the board’s information officer, Abdullahi Sulaiman, the suspension followed Inuwa’s continued disregard for multiple warnings regarding her behavior. The board stated, “Samha Inuwa had been repeatedly cautioned about her crude dressing and vulgar displays, but she continued to flout the board’s regulations.
“In addition to the suspension, the board has revoked Inuwa’s license and stopped the censorship of any films featuring her. The board reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that films and other forms of expression adhere to the state’s religious, cultural, and moral standards.
This move follows a series of similar suspensions of actresses in northern Nigeria due to their public conduct and roles in films. The board emphasized that the suspension was part of ongoing efforts to maintain moral integrity within the Kannywood film industry.
