In a statement issued and signed by the board’s Information Officer, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, Samha had been repeatedly cautioned about her inappropriate attire and conduct, but she continued to disregard the board’s regulations, prompting the board to suspend her.
The statement further disclose that the suspension was effective immediately, precluding Samha from participating in any film projects for the next 12 months.
