The Actors Guild of Nigeria asks for national prayers after two actors died on a movie set in Owerri. A filmmaker named Stanley Ontop shared a video of four actors rushing to the Federal University Teaching Hospital, Owerri. Two actors died upon arrival. They reportedly drank something the producer gave them during filming.
AGN president Emeka Rollas posted on Instagram, calling for prayer sessions with pastor Jerry Eze. He noted these victims weren't guild members but saw this as part of a pattern. He wrote that evil forces want mass deaths repeated yearly in Nollywood. Rollas said God prevented four deaths instead of two, the same number who died last year in Asaba.
This tragedy happened just one week after the memorial services for actor Junior Pope. Last year, Junior Pope died with three crew members during the production of The Other Side of Life in Delta State. The guild said they couldn't sue actress Adanma Luke, who produced that film. They explained Junior Pope never paid membership dues to the organization.
