President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has clarified that the individuals involved in the recent tragic on-set incident in Owerri, Imo State, were not registered members of the Guild.

Last week, reports emerged that four actors were rushed to the Federal University Teaching Hospital in Owerri after reportedly losing consciousness on a film set. Two of them were confirmed dead on arrival, with the cause believed to be food or drink consumed during the shoot.

Responding to the news via an Instagram post, Rollas expressed sorrow over the deaths and reiterated that the victims were not affiliated with the AGN.

Rollas also condemned the increasing number of unregulated film productions and warned about the dangers of operating outside professional structures.
