Things Are Thick:Movie Vendors Arrested For Selling Banned Movie “Wolf Of Wall Street” (PHOTO)

Kenyans viciously lampooned  the Kenya Film Classification Board when they announced that The Wolf Of Wall street was banned and violators would be prosecuted. This was after a statement on their Facebook page.

An announcement made later by the board announcing a crackdown on violators made Kenyans collapse with laughter .The board had announced this “A crackdown was started countrywide to check on UNRATED content and restricted films. MANY have already been arrested and will be prosecuted. Please, be warned that KFCB and the POLICE are on the look-out for violators.”

The banning of Wolf Of Wall Street is no longer a laughing matter. This was after two movie vendors were arrested in Nakuru after they were found in possession of copies of the banned movie ‘The Wolf of The Wall Street’.

The Kenya Film and Classification Board swooped on the streets and movie shops and confiscated 500 CDs and DVDs of the banned movie.

The arrested will be arraigned in court on Friday, and if found guilty they could face jail term of up to five years and/or a fine of Sh100,000 according to Section 12 of the Kenya Film and Stage Plays Act.
