“Filmmakers/Content Creators should be reminded that it is an offence to directly or indirectly make public show (Exhibition) of same-s*x relationship in Nigeria.”
“It is also an offence to distribute or exhibit any Film or Video content including skits and musical videos on any platform without recourse to the National Film and Video Censors Board for classification,” it noted.
