The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a Kannywood actress, Samha Inuwa, over alleged abuse of the Naira.
Inuwa was arrested on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, following the circulation of a viral video on social media in which she was seen using Naira notes to clean mucus from her nose.
Sources at the anti-graft agency said the video triggered public outrage, prompting the Commission to trace and arrest the actress for questioning.
