'Half of a Yellow Sun' will premier locally

Film distributors say "Half of a Yellow Sun" will premier in Nigeria Aug. 1 after months of delay because censors warned it could undermine national security and demanded cuts and edits.

It was unclear what changes were made to satisfy the censors. The movie is partly set during Nigeria's 1960s civil war, which remains a sensitive subject. And it comes as the country confronts an Islamic uprising that again threatens to tear it apart as tensions increase between Muslims and Christians in Africa's most populous nation.

The movie has been cleared for viewing by people over 18 years old.

Producers Shareman media and FilmOne Distribution thanked Nigerians for their patience in a statement Tuesday. The movie starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton was to premier in April.

"The Chibok girls are safe, we treat them well" - Boko Haram member speaks to BBC

I am telling you a fact...they don’t have a problem. Some of them have belief in Islam, some of them say they would not convert to Islam but we didn’t differentiate them, we treat them equally.  They are healthy, feeding and all these. We didn’t differentiate between them at all, why because, Allah commands us to do them equally. Some of them say they would not come back to Islam, we ask them to stay, no problem. There is no forcing in Islam but some of them not Muslims are converting to Islam but we are not differentiating them. If you see them now, you would see they don’t have any problem. Under Islam, killing children and women is not accepted you understand, but if they are fighting you, then you must fight them but if they are not fighting you, then it is not accepted weather they are Muslims or non-Muslims. Do not fight them, it is not accepted but if you bomb somewhere or make arrest somewhere, it will affect them but killing children and women is not accepted” 

An anonymous member of the dreaded Boko haram sect said this to Tobi Oladipo of BBC World radio today. 

Contrary to reports by a serving senator that they are being shot and raped, he says they are all living well and would be released if the government releases their jailed members.
"If today the government releases our members, tomorrow or the next day we promise you can see all of them sure. We would release them tomorrow or the next day." he said.
