Popular Nollywood director and producer, Nonso Ekene Okonkwo who is based in Asaba, Delta State capital, may need a divine intervention to save his hard earned reputation from being dragged to the mud.
Our scooped during the week that one of the up and coming actresses, Boma Tubonimi Arinyedokiari, also based in Asaba, has accused the popular director of extorting the sum of N105,000,00 from her, in addition to threatening to deal with her in the event of her backing out of the “a six- year contract which she entered with him.”
Surprisingly,she continued, ” upon my arriving Asaba, the director told me I had to operate from his house. Later, he informed me about an agreement that would expire in six years time. I objected to it, arguing that six years contract was too long a time. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how I was influenced to sign the contract.”Narrating her ordeal, the light-complexioned actress, who hails from Rivers State said the director invited her to Asaba, on the pretext that she was going to act in a new flick that was about to be shot then. But unknown to her that, the man had a different plan altogether.
According to Boma’s allegation, Okonkwo wants to be collecting 40 per cent of whatever she earns from her sweat for six years.
She narrates further: “I did some works for him, which I have not been paid till today. At the moment, he has collected the sum of N105,000,00 from me. The incident happened since November, last year. Now, he is threatening to deal with me because I do not want to be part of that agreement again.”
