The Nigerian Censors Board is still halting the release of the movie adaptation of Ngozi Adichie Chimamanda’s “Half of a Yellow Sun”. The board now requires the producer of the movie to cut out some sections already pointed out by the censors board.
The members of the board believe the movie could cause problems with the national security of the nation. They therefore want cuts to allow the film, partly set during Nigeria’s 1960s civil war, to be shown to Nigerians.
A statement Wednesday by the Censors Board said the board was still awaiting a response from the exhibitors to a May 27 letter “requiring the distributor to expunge/edit some clearly stated objectionable aspects.”
