The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) on Saturday warned miscreants, foreign films traders and others engaged in illegal businesses in the movie industry to desist from such dubious acts. He said that foreign films were illegal, uncensored and unclassified, therefore unacceptable in the country. He, therefore, urged those who trade in foreign films to desist from such illegal act because when caught, offenders would be dealt with ruthlessly. “Foreign films in this country are totally banned, they are illegal and we seek the collaboration of the customs and other law enforcement agencies to help us sanitise the creative industry. ”So it is a total ban for all foreign films, the only ones allowed are those in the cinemas because we have been able to manage the cinemas and censor them,” he said.
