The Kano Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, arrested a Kannywood star, Samha Inuwa, over alleged naira mutilation.
Inuwa was arrested following a viral video circulated on social media in which she was seen cleaning mucus from her nose with naira notes.
Following the circulation of the video, the Commission swung into action, traced the suspect, and subsequently arrested her for questioning.
She is currently being held at the Commission’s detention facility while investigations are ongoing.
The EFCC said the suspect will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
