The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Kannywood star Samha Inuwa over alleged mutilation of the Nigerian currency.
According to reports, operatives of the Kano Zonal Directorate of the EFCC arrested Inuwa on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, following a viral video that circulated widely on social media.
In the video, the actress was seen allegedly cleaning mucus from her nose with naira notes, an act that sparked public outrage and drew the attention of the anti-graft agency.
Following the video’s spread online, the EFCC reportedly traced and arrested her for questioning.
Inuwa is currently being held at the commission’s detention facility in Kano as investigations continue.
The EFCC said she will be charged to court once investigations are concluded.
