EFCC Goes After Stephanie Okereke, Others Over Governor Akpabio’s 50 Million Naira

This might not really be a good time for the
actress who is presently on vacation with
her hubby 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.
