Indigenes threaten legal action against Gangs of Lagos movie

A cultural group Isale Eko Descendants' Union (IDU), in a statement issued by its chairman, Yomi Tokosi, expressed displeasure at the way the Eyo masquerade was portrayed in Gangs of Lagos movie directed by Jade Osiberu.

According to the IDU, the Eyo masquerade, indigenous to the Isale Eko community, was illegally and scandalously depicted as a camouflage, decoy and deception for murderers and gangsters.

The IDU also revealed it has petitioned the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to "withdraw the approval granted to the movie - Gangs of Lagos and direct the withdrawal of the movie from all viewing channels available to the public."
