The Kano State Censorship Board has announced a one-year suspension of popular Kannywood actress, Samha M. Inuwa, over allegations of indecent dressing and provocative videos.
The board’s decision, revealed in a statement signed by its Information Officer, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, followed numerous complaints from the public.
According to the statement, the actress had been repeatedly warned about her “crude dressing, vulgar displays, and inappropriate language” in some of her videos but failed to comply with the board’s regulations.
As part of the disciplinary measures, the board has revoked her status and halted the censorship of any film in which she appears. The Kano State Censorship Board emphasised that it is legally mandated to ensure all creative works, including films and writings, align with the state’s religious, cultural, and moral values.
“This suspension is part of the board’s ongoing efforts to maintain moral standards in the Kannywood film industry and ensure strict adherence to its rules and regulations,” the statement added.
