The
National Film and Video Censors Board (NCVCB) said it has seized
pirated and uncensored pornographic films worth about N2.5 million from
various retail shops in Abuja.
Banex
Plaza, Sheriff Plaza, Wuse II, and Dutse Alhaji market in the FCT were
some of the commercial outlets that were raided and the films
confiscated.
The
Acting Head of Corporate Affairs for the NCVCB, Mr. Caesar Kagho said
the confiscated films were illegal and were contributing negatively to
the attitudes of the youths in the society.
He said the exercise was in line with the board’s commitment to rid the Nigerian markets of unwholesome films.
The
NCVCB is responsible for censoring and classifying films and video, and
also has the mandate of the registration and licensing of persons and
premises for the distribution of films and videos in the country.
