Evan Okoro, Nigerian actress, has taken to social media to allege death threats from some quarters over ‘Bigo Madness’, her latest movie.
In several videos on her Instagram page, the movie star could seen crying while calling on her colleagues and the public at large to come to her rescue.
“My life is in danger. I need you guys, where are my Nollywood people, where are my fellow Nigerians. I don’t want to die, they want to kill me,” she said in one of the videos.
“I need your help, not when I die than I would be seeing my posts everywhere with rest in peace (RIP) tags. I don’t know where to go from here, or who to run to.
“I am very scared right now, they want to kill me because of a movie that I shot. Just a movie!”
