The National Film Video and Censors Board (NFVCB) has dismissed reports that it will arrest skit makers releasing content online without approval.
An official statement released on Saturday by the board’s executive director, Shaibu Husseini, unequivocally refuted the reports as false.
The NFVCB said its last public statement was a warning to filmmakers promoting same-sex relationships and pornographic content.
The statement, “Our attention has been drawn to this and other misleading headlines, making the rounds
“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-sex 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.”
