The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Kannywood actress Samha Inuwa for allegedly using Naira notes to clean mucus from her nose. The arrest was made on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, after a viral video circulated on social media platforms showed Inuwa committing the act.

The EFCC’s Kano Zonal Directorate acted swiftly, tracing and arresting Inuwa for questioning. She’s currently being held at the Commission’s detention facility while investigations continue. Once the probe is complete, she’ll face charges in court.

The EFCC has been cracking down on Naira abuse, citing Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act, which prohibits the spraying, stamping, mutilation, or abuse of the Naira.
