Kano Censors Board has suspended actress Samha Inuwa from acting and appearing in Kannywood movies for one year.

The board accused the actress of posting pictures of herself in indecent attire.

The suspension is part of the Kano State Censorship Board’s efforts to maintain moral integrity in the Kannywood film industry and ensure compliance with its rules and regulations.

Top actresses like Rahama Sadau and Nafeesat Abdullahi were also suspended in the past for similar accusations by the board.

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.

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.

The 27-year-old actress has appeared in many Kannywood movies, including Fansa, where she starred alongside Ali Nuhu.

Big Brother Naija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has criticised the Season 11 housemates for their lack of energy and initiative during their first week on the reality show.

Ebuka delivered the assessment during Sunday night’s live show, saying many of the contestants appeared to be waiting for events to unfold instead of creating memorable moments.

He said he initially believed the housemates were still adjusting to their new environment but became concerned after watching their preparations for the wager task.

“Too many of you were just not there. I thought it was just day two and you all were trying to acclimatise,” he said.

“Then the wager task happened, but the build-up to it was lackadaisical, especially from the ladies. I did not want to think too much of it.”

Ebuka said the pool party also failed to produce the level of excitement expected from the contestants.

“But then, I watched the pool party. It was more like I did not watch it because I went to bed at some point. It was not just it,” he said.

The host urged the housemates to become more proactive and take greater control of their experience in the house.

“I have been trying to find the word to describe the week, and I think the right word to use is that there are so many of you waiting for things to happen, and not many of you are making things happen,” he added.

His remarks served as a wake-up call to the contestants as the reality show entered its second week.
