Kannywood Star, Samha Inuwa has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Kano over alleged naira mutilation.
In a statement shared on Facebook, the commission said its Kano Zonal Directorate arrested the actress on Tuesday, February 3.
The commission said her arrest followed a viral video circulated on social media platforms where she was seen conspicuously cleaning mucus from her nose using naira notes.
“Following the release of the viral video, the commission swung into action by tracing and subsequently arrested her to answer questions.

“She is currently being held at the Commission’s detention facility while investigation is ongoing,” the statement reads in part.
The EFCC said the suspect would be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.
In July 2025, the EFCC held a sensitisation programme with critical stakeholders comprising movie producers, musicians, non-governmental organisations, media, bureau de change operators, legal practitioners, security agencies, among others in Lagos.
Executive Chairman of EFCC, Ola Olukoyede said the programme was a fallout of the increasing spate of naira mutilation and abuse in the country.
He charged the stakeholders to join hands with the commission in tackling the menace of naira abuse in the country.
