… revokes her operating licence
Kano State Censorship Board has suspended and revoked the operating licence of popular Kannywood actress, Samha M. Inuwa, for violating the board’s regulations on indecent dressing, vulgar content posting, among others.
The Board’s Information Officer, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, in a statement, said Samha had been repeatedly warned about her “crude dressing and vulgar displays,” but she continued to flout the board’s regulations, adding that it had resolved to suspend her.
The Board said the actress’ suspension took immediate effect, barring her from appearing in any films for the next 12 months.
According to the Board, the decision is in response to multiple complaints received from the public and concerned citizens in Kano regarding Samha’s conducts that violate the board’s regulations.
In addition to the suspension, the board also revoked Samha’s operating licences and halted the censorship of any films featuring the actress.
The suspension, according to the statement, is regarded as a fulfillment of the new leadership of the Board under Abba Al-Mustapha to bring back sanity into the Hausa filmmaking industry.
