The Nigerian movie industry also known as Nollywood is poised
for a showdown as the Association of Nollywood Core Producers, ANCOP,
has petitioned EFCC and SFU over the N50 million largesse donated by
Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State to support the industry.
The
association is alleging massive fraud in the disbursement of the fund.
It has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
and the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) to investigate the matter.
According
to a copy of the petition made available to HVP, signed by the
association’s President, Comrade Alex Eyengho, the group is asking the
agencies to invite the National President of the Association of Movie
Producers, AMP, Zik Zulu Okafor, the National President of the Directors
Guild of Nigeria, DGN, Andy Amenechi; the Secretary General of the
Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, Yakubu Abubakar and actress Stephanie
Okereke- Linus Idahosa for obtaining the fund and disbursing it without
the consent of the industry’s stakeholders.
