Kannywood Actress Samha M. Inuwa Suspended for One Year by Kano State Censorship Board

In a widely discussed development, Kannywood actress Samha M. Inuwa has been suspended for one year by the Kano State Censorship Board. The suspension was announced by the Board’s Chairman, Abba El-Mustapha, through the Board Information Officer (BIO), Abdullahi Suleiman. The suspension is reportedly due to her alleged indecent dressing and social media activities deemed inconsistent with the ethical guidelines of the Kannywood film industry.

According to the censorship board, this is not the first time Samha has posted content—pictures and video clips—that violates the moral standards upheld by the industry. As of now, the actress has not issued any public statement in response to the sanction. However, the Board has confirmed that she will not be allowed to feature in any film, nor will any film featuring her be released, until the one-year suspension period has elapsed.

Sources from KannywoodScene reveal that the censorship board based its decision on her activities on social media platforms, particularly TikTok, where she boasts over 1.3 million followers, and Instagram, where she has more than 500,000 followers. Despite several written and verbal warnings issued to the actress, her online behavior was deemed non-compliant, leading to the decisive action by the Board.

Stay tuned for further updates as this story unfolds.
