Kano Censorship Board Suspends Actress Samha Inuwa Over Conduct Violations

The Kano State Censorship Board has suspended popular Kannywood actress Samha Inuwa for one year over allegations of “inappropriate” dressing and “offensive language” in her videos.

In a statement released by its information officer, Abdullahi Sulaiman, on Saturday, the board said the suspension was due to Inuwa’s failure to comply with repeated warnings regarding her conduct.

The statement noted, “Samha Inuwa had been repeatedly cautioned about her crude dressing and vulgar displays, but she continued to flout the board’s regulations.”

As part of the penalty, the board has revoked Inuwa’s license and announced an immediate halt to the censorship of any films featuring the actress.

The board emphasized its commitment to upholding Kano State’s religious values, cultural norms, and moral standards in the film industry, stating that the suspension aligns with its efforts to maintain moral integrity in Kannywood.

Samha Inuwa’s case adds to a series of disciplinary actions taken against actresses in northern Nigeria for public appearances deemed inappropriate.

In 2016, the Motion Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) expelled actress Rahama Sadau over her appearance in a music video. Her suspension was later lifted by then-Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, who recognized the contributions of the Hausa film industry to national development.
