The National Film and Video Censors Board has denied it has plans to arrest skit makers who release content online without approval.
In a statement titled ‘Re: FG To Arrest Skit Makers Who release content online without approval’, and signed by its management, the NFVCB said the information making the rounds on the issue was misleading.
The statement said: “Our attention has been drawn to this and other misleading headlines, making the rounds.
“We want to categorically state that at no time and nowhere 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”.
