"While the Commission appreciate the desire by some operators in the creative sector to produce movies/skits with plots around economic and financial crimes, it is incumbent on such operators to seek the Commission’s authorization, including vetting of scenes which purport to depict the operations of the Commission, to ensure that false or misleading messages are not passed to the public", part of the statement reads.
"Anyone found acting contrary to this advisory shall henceforth be treated as an impersonator and dealt with accordingly."
The agency however revealed that it is open to partnering with movie makers to educate the public on the evils of financial crimes.
"The Public Affairs Department of the Commission is adequately equipped to work with motion picture practitioners desirous of partnering with the Commission in using films and skits to educate the public, especially the youth on the dangers of economic and financial crimes."
