Piracy: NCC, Lagos Arrest 26, Impound 7,000 Films by baloney: 4:00am On Sep 01, 2015
Lagos—At least 26 suspected pirates and 7,000
copies of pirated films, especially pornographic
films were confiscated by the Nigeria Copyright
Commission and Lagos State Film and Video
Censors Board during a three-day anti-piracy raid
across the state.
The three-day raid, which was carried out in
collaboration with the Yoruba Movie Producers/
Marketers Association of Nigeria covered Iyana-
Ipaja, Agege, Oshodi, Ijora, Orile Iganmu and
Obalende.
Executive Secretary of the LSFVCB, Mr. Bamidele
Balogun who disclosed this yesterday, said the
raid was part of the continuous effort to rid the
State of the sale of pirated and unclassified
movies asserting that those that were caught
during the raids will be tried and brought to
justice.
Balogun stated that the State Government was
concerned that Nigerian artistes were not getting
maximum benefits from their works and this
posed a serious challenge.
He maintained that piracy is a greatest enemy of
creative industry which must be defeated for the
film industry as well as legitimate practitioners to
grow.
The General Secretary of Yoruba Movie
Producers/Marketers Association of Nigeria,
YOVIPMAN, Mr. Adetunji Ojetola who led his team
for the raid confessed that the Association had
made spirited effort in the past to curtail piracy.
