The board emphasised that her acts went against established cultural and moral values. Her licence was removed as part of the disciplinary proceedings, and the board will no longer regulate films featuring her.
“The Kano State Censorship Board is legally mandated to ensure that all forms of media—videos, writings, and other expressions—adhere to the religious, cultural, and moral values of the state,” the statement read.
Henzodaily.ng earlier reported that Kannywood, the Hausa-language movie industry, was hit with a tragedy as veteran actress, Saratu Gidado, was reported dead.
According to family members, Saratu, also known as Daso, was found dead in her apartment on Tuesday morning, April 9.
Saratu’s relatives disclosed she was found dead after she had gone back to sleep after Sahur – an early-morning breakfast for Muslims observing the Ramadan fasting.
The veteran actress, who passed on at the age of 56, was born on January 17, 1968, in Kano.
