In a statement issued by Abdullahi Sulaiman, the Information Officer for the Kano State Censorship Board, on Saturday, it accused the actress of not heeding the board’s several warnings
“The actress had been repeatedly warned about her inappropriate attire, vulgar displays, and offensive language in some of her videos.
“Samha Inuwa had been repeatedly cautioned about her crude dressing and vulgar displays, but she continued to flout the board’s regulations.
The statement said, “In addition to the suspension, the board has revoked her licence and halted the censorship of any films featuring her.
“The board reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that all films, writings, and other forms of expression align with the state’s religious values, cultural norms, and moral standards.
However, the board has not publicly disclosed the specific comments or images deemed indecent or violating its regulatory ethics, leaving the nature of the offence unclear.
