The incident, according to security expert Zagazola Makama, occurred yesterday, Friday, April 18, 2025, at about 0500hrs, around Works Layout by Nwaosu Street, where members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) were filming a movie.
Zagazola quoted sources as disclosing that the group was served food and drinks during the shoot. “Shortly after consuming the meal, two members, identified as Monday Israel and Evans Sampson, collapsed.
