The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) said on Tuesday that the North Korean Mission in Nigeria has made a formal complaint to it over illegal distribution of a film which the mission regarded as provocative.

Mike Ekunno, the Head, Corporate Affairs of NFVCB, in a statement, said that the North Korean mission viewed the movie as not only provocative but also targeted at inciting the assassination of the North Korean Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-Il.

According to the statement, the North Korean Ambassador in Nigeria, Jong Choi, expressed displeasure with the movie during a courtesy call to the NFVCB.

Choi said in the statement that the movie did not only misrepresent the developments achieved by his country but sought to portray and instigate negative global opinion against its leadership. He pleaded with the NFVCB to initiate action to mop the movie out of the Nigerian market, and also cut the supply source.

The ambassador also underscored the long-standing friendly relations between Nigeria and North Korea, and emphasised the need to deepen the ties.

The statement quoted the Director General of NFVCB, Patricia Bala, as informing the envoy that the agency had carried out due diligence in investigating the matter. Bala said that the movie in question was never submitted to be considered for distribution in Nigeria and that its illegal sale was within underground markets in breach of the law.

“The rules and regulations guiding distribution and exhibition of movies in Nigeria frown at any content capable of causing a breach of public order or subjecting any individual or nation to ridicule,” the statement said. “The agency has already swung into action against the illegal distribution of the said movie. The monitoring and enforcement operatives of the board are under clear directives to track and bring those involved to face the full weight of the law.”

In 2014, North Korea reacted angrily to the controversial Hollywood movie – The Interview – which chronicled a comic attempt to assassinate the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un.

The North Korea ambassador should have been lectured on freedom and the rights of citizen! Not implementing their draconian views on naija

The video board should do the needful becos Nigeria can not stand north korea.

All these nonsense wil stop when Christ begin to reign..
Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand!

This is not North Korea! Tell that to the ambassador.

I see this snowballing into a cold war between our government and the North Korean supremacist government, due to the callous and lacklustre approach by our government to real foreign relations.

Every country issuing warning to us... Today is North korea... Tomorrow it will be Hell Fire telling us Nigeria is too close to her.


Hmmmm... Odikwa egwu
