A Nollywood FX artist died after an off-script explosion went horribly wrong on set. James Akaie lost his life in Abeokuta, Ogun State, while toying with a gas cylinder for some unapproved fire stunt. The RockBottom Flix crew reported that this rogue experiment blew up in a prep area, killing the specialist and scorching two helpers who are currently healing in a clinic.
Director James Abinibi confirmed the disaster, calling the deceased a creative genius despite the chaotic end. He says the production team is helping authorities figure out exactly how this gas tank trick turned deadly. The boss wants everyone to give the grieving family space while they process this sudden loss caused by a risky test gone bad.
This guy built his reputation designing visuals for Mai Martaba, The Night of June 7th, Dark October, and Ireke. His passing highlights the dangers of playing with flammable materials without safety protocols, silencing a vibrant presence who seemingly pushed boundaries a little too far this time.
