Kannywood actress Samha M. Inuwa has been banned from acting in films for one year by the Kano State Censorship Board. The decision was made following complaints from the public about her allegedly indecent attire and racy videos, which were deemed to be provocative.
The board said the suspension followed complaints from concerned citizens about her “revealing dress and provocative videos.”
In a statement issued by Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, Information Officer of the Kano State Censorship Board, the board revealed that Samha had been warned multiple times about her “crude dressing, vulgar displays, and language in her some videos.”
The board emphasised that the actress’ 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.
“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 the board’s ongoing efforts to uphold moral standards in the Kannywood film industry and enforce the board’s regulations.
