The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) has moved to halt the planned media press call and premiere of Living in Colors, alleging that the film contains explicit sexual content and promotes same-sex relationships.

The Board, in a statement issued on Wednesday, said it became aware of promotional materials, including a poster and a trailer for the film, advertising a media event and premiere scheduled for this weekend at a cinema facility in Lagos.

According to the NFVCB, preliminary investigations indicate that the film has not been submitted to the regulatory agency for classification and approval.
