The board, in a statement signed by the board’s Information Officer, Abdullahi Sulaiman, also revoked her operating license, effectively barring her from appearing in any films during the suspension period.
The actress, before the suspension was accused of repeatedly ignoring warnings about her behavior.
“Despite several cautions regarding her crude dressing and vulgar displays, she continued to flout the board’s regulations,” the statement read.
According to the board, the decision comes after concerned Nigerians laid numerous complaints and also uphold Kano’s cultural, religious and moral values.
The board also announced it would halt the censorship of any films featuring Samba during her suspension.
