A Federal High Court in Kano has convicted Kannywood actress Saadatu Mohammed Inuwa, popularly known as Samha Inuwa, for deliberately mutilating the Nigerian currency, the naira.
Justice S.M. Shuaibu handed down the judgment after Inuwa pleaded guilty to a charge of soiling a ₦1,000 note by wiping it with her nose, an act found to violate currency protection laws.
The court sentenced her to six months’ imprisonment, with the alternative of paying a ₦200,000 fine in lieu of serving the jail term.
Inuwa, a first-time offender, had expressed remorse and requested leniency.
The case highlights Nigeria’s strict enforcement of laws against defacing or mutilating its currency, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the naira
