Nigeria, Dec. 22 -- Actress and filmmaker Ini Edo has appealed to the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the general public to refrain from taking punitive action against her film, "A Very Dirty Christmas."

PREMIUM TIMES reported that the actress became embroiled in controversy after CAN described it as offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith.

In a statement signed by its president, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, the association stated that the movie showed a lack of respect for Christendom.

Addressing the concerns, NFVCB Director-General Shaibu Husseini acknowledged that the film passed all required legal and regulatory processes before its title received approval.
