The Kano State Censorship Board has suspended popular Kannywood actress, Samha M. Inuwa, from participating in all films for one year.
The decision, announced on Saturday, comes in response to public complaints about the actress’s revealing outfits and provocative videos, which many considered inappropriate.
In a statement issued by the board’s Information Officer, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, the board revealed that Samha had previously been warned several times about her crude dressing, vulgar displays, and use of inappropriate language in her videos.
“The board has also revoked her liaison and stopped censoring any films in which she appears. 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 read.
The board emphasized that the suspension is part of its broader efforts to maintain moral standards in the Kannywood film industry and ensure strict compliance with its rules and regulations.
