The actor, who was said to have been badly

burnt when the fire stunt got out of control,

was contracted to do the fire stunt which

went well without a fire outbreak as earlier

reported.

Addressing the media on the sad

misunderstanding the video which has gone

viral on the internet may have caused, the

movie director, Stanley Ohikhuare set the

record straight.

“Ani Iyoho was contacted to act in the movie

and do the stunts. He signed a release form

after confirming that every safety measure

was in place.

Measures include the provision of five

working fire extinguishers, a water source

which in this case was a stream nearby from

where we pumped water, a fire blanket and

absolute professional preparation for the

stunt, using the recommended media.

We set him on fire following strict

professional guidelines” he stated. He went

further to say “But contrary to several

speculations that the he got burnt and that

the stunt was a failure, we indeed succeeded

at pulling it off and Ani Iyoho is here with us

today, from very healthy.

He was willingly in on this from the

beginning. What we did was to activate that

which is professionally referred to as Media

Influence.”

However, the actor recently stated that

the scene wasn’t a publicity stunt but a

movie scene that went very well.

He posted a statement on his Instagram

saying:

‘To my friends

For most of you who have ever commented

or sent a chat to me you know I do all I can

to respond to them all. So it hurt me deeply

to keep you in silence and in the dark during

this period. I couldn’t avoid it. The calls were

maddening. My phone had to be turned off

till the matter was resolved in public where it

started.

It worried the production that anything I

might say as an individual may be

misinterpreted further worsening the

situation. I’m truly sorry beyond words for

the emotional stress and inconvenience this

might have caused you. It wasn’t a publicity

stunt for me as some might still want to

have you believe. It was a huge

misunderstanding, misrepresentation and

misinterpretation of events of that day and it

took a toll on me in ways I cannot explain

I am however extremely humbled at the love,

care and support I got from you during this

period. Words fail me. I am indebted to you.

Thanks for being there for me and my family.

God bless you and yours. Amen

I am well. It was a movie fire scene that

went well.’

Ani Iyoho.
