Balogun added that during the raid, which was met with some resistance in some areas, cameras and other equipment were seized from presumed movie practitioners for shooting movies in the state without approval of LSFVCB.

He described intellectual property theft as the greatest threat to the development of the movie industry and called for the collaboration of all stakeholders to address the problem.

“The reality is that some people invested in producing films but in most cases, they don’t break even as a result of intellectual property theft.

“We are concerned as a government that this is happening at all. The state government is doing this for the sake of legitimate movie producers.

“The essence of our intervention is to protect movie producers and even children against such contents,” the LSFVCB boss said.
