AGN Reinstates Luke, Lifts Riverine Filming Ban

The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has lifted the suspension on producer Adanma Luke, initially imposed after the tragic deaths of five crew members, including actor Junior Pope, on the set of her movie “The Other Side of Life” in April.

Emeka Rollas, the guild’s national president, announced the decision following a National Executive Council meeting. Luke’s suspension has been revoked, and the ban on filming in riverine areas has also been lifted.

The AGN emphasized the importance of adhering to safety protocols and following the safety standards outlined in the guild’s bylaws to prevent future incidents.

In a statement signed by national secretary Abubakar Yakubu, Rollas said: “The National President of the Guild, Dr. Ejezie Emeka Rollas, MON, announces the lifting of the suspension on Adanma Luke, producer of the movie ‘Another Side of Life,’ where star actor Junior Pope and four other crew members lost their lives in Anam river. The President also lifted the ban on filming in riverine areas but cautioned members to apply all safety standard measures recommended in the AGN Bylaws.”

The suspension was originally imposed after an investigation revealed that Luke had violated safety protocols, leading to the April 10 incident where five crew members drowned after their boat capsized in the River Niger.

The AGN’s decision to lift the suspension and ban followed a thorough review of the case and a commitment to prioritizing safety in the film industry.

BBNaija: KellyRae, Topher, and Ozee Among 9 Nominated for Eviction

Nine housemates, including KellyRae, Topher, and Ozee, have been nominated for possible eviction in the BBNaija ‘No Loose Guard’ season. Following the Head of House (HoH) games, which saw Tjay emerge victorious, Biggie instructed housemates to nominate two others for eviction.

KellyRae received the most nominations with six, followed closely by Sooj and Victoria, who each had five nominations. Kassia garnered four, while Ben, Ozee, Chizoba, and Shaun were nominated twice. Onyeka, Topher, and Nelly received one nomination each.

However, Topher’s inclusion in the eviction list was due to disobeying Biggie’s rules by only nominating one housemate instead of two. As a result, he faces possible eviction alongside KellyRae, Kassia, Ben, Chizoba, Shaun, Victoria, Sooj, and Ozee.

One or two housemates will be evicted during the live eviction show on Sunday. So far, 14 housemates have been evicted from the reality show. The first pair to exit was Team Tami (Damilola and Toyosi) on August 4, followed by Team Ndi Nne (Chinne and Nne).

Team Streeze (Mayor and Tobi Forge) and Team Flourish (Ruthie and DJ Flo) left on August 18, while Team Zinwe (Zion and Chinwe) and Team Radicals (Fairme David and Mitchky) were evicted on August 25 and September 1, respectively.
