The president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, has called for mass prayers and enhanced unionisation following the deaths of two actors in Owerri. He attributed the incidents to a lack of union representation in Nollywood and urged actors to join the guild. This tragic event, occurring just after a memorial for influential actor Junior Pope, highlights ongoing safety concerns in the industry. The Imo State Police confirmed the deaths, an investigation is underway, and Rollas emphasizes the need for improved workplace regulations to safeguard actors in the future.
We have repeatedly warned that actors must join the guild to practice in Nollywood.
We must engage in spiritual intervention and better workplace regulation to prevent future tragedies.
This is a bad trend. Actors risk their lives when they work without union representation.
I can confirm that two people were pronounced dead while two were hospitalised.
