The Kano State Censorship Board has suspended popular Kannywood actress Samha M. Inuwa from appearing in films for one year.
The board stated that the suspension follows complaints from concerned citizens regarding her “revealing dress and provocative videos.”
In a statement issued by Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, Information Officer of the Kano State Censorship Board, it was revealed that Samha had been warned multiple times about her “crude dressing, vulgar displays, and language in some of her videos.”
The board emphasised that the actress’s conduct had violated cultural and moral standards.
In addition to the suspension, the board has revoked Samha’s licence and ceased censoring any films in which she appears.
“The Kano State Censorship Board is empowered by law to ensure that all videos, writings, and other forms of expression align with the state’s religion, culture, norms, and values,” the statement explained.
The board claimed that the suspension is part of its ongoing efforts to uphold moral standards in the Kannywood film industry and enforce its regulations.
