The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) has said its not planning to arrest skit makers who release online content without approval
In a statement, the Executive Director Shaibu Husseini described the reports as “misleading”.
The board clarified that its previous statement was a warning to filmmakers promoting same-s3x relationships and p3rnographic content, which are illegal under Nigerian law.
The NFVCB assured that it will continue to engage with stakeholders as it shifts from censorship to classification (rating) and urged the public to disregard the misleading reports.
“Our attention has been drawn to this and other misleading headlines, making the rounds,” the statement said.
“We want to categorically state that at no time and no where did we issue such a statement.
“Our last public statement was targeted at filmmakers and content creators who were producing, promoting, and distributing unlawful content, including same-s3x themed contents prohibited by law.
“We wish to further assure that the NFVCB will continue to engage with all stakeholders as we transmute from censorship to CLASSIFICATION (Rating). Kindly disregard the misleading headlines.”
