Nollywood, the Nigeria’s fast-rising movie industry seems to be ridding with so many crisis ever since the industry has been attested to be the third largest movie industry in the world and first in Africa in terms of productivity.

One of the crises includes but not limited to sexual harassments, lackadaisical attitude towards job, influx of mediocre to mention but a few. While the stakeholders are putting heads together to curb all this menace and crises that the industry is identified with another crisis, we learnt, has just erupted yesterday that beat everybody’s imagination.

www.nigeriafilms.com scooped yesterday that one of the up and coming Nollywood practitioner known as Nonso Ekene Okonkwo and others were arrested by the State’s Policemen early ours of yesterday in Asaba, Delta State area of Nigeria for illegal possession of firearms and other dangerous weapons.

Though, it was said that the guns and cartridges were meant for a movie that was said to be currently going on, however, the Policemen are said not to be cajoled with such white lies.

Before we filed this report, we were informed that the Delta State Chapter of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, AGN have waded into the matter to secure their bail. The police, we gathered, insisted that the people arrested should provide documents that warranted them to go about with firearms or be charged to court according to the law of the land. We shall update you more details as soon as we get them.

Nonso ekene okonkwo
Nollywood | 7/15/2010 12:59:56 AM
Nonso Ekene OKONKWO is a movie director popuLARLY known in the Asaba.
itz very possible the fire arms are for movie because they tend to hire arms from these policemen or army guyz for a movie shoot.
sometimes the lending of the fire arms might not be propularly documents cuz the uniformed men want to cut corners.
Guess they dint have a legit paper work on the usage of the arms it wz supposed 2 be sharp sharp so they quickly shoot n return.
its also a lesson to these movie makers to do the right thing always.. cuz even the uniformed that gave out the firearms can still set them up because they dont have proper documeented right of posssession at that time.
hoping he soughts himself out quicly and be careful next time.

Dumb Journalist
Anonymous | 10/13/2011 10:03:07 AM
I know the journalist very well, such a lame, cheap and no do well fellow. Never writes a true story, always blackmail. Too bad he is still in this business, as i have expected him to go join lasma or go farming. Cotonu is not far, go back to your village and stop raising unnecessary dust in lagog.

Eko oni baje o!
