Actress, producer, Omoni Oboli has lamented on social media
over the ill treatment given to her and film crew on the set of her new movie
in Lagos State. According to the star of ‘Wives on Strike’, area boys have
fighting severely with her film crew over ‘settlement’, which she said has been
handed over to them every day. In series of tweets, she complained directly to Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode...
"This is what is going on my set right now!!! Why can't I
work on peace in Lagos? Someone should help me tell the governor! #FedUp. I'm
absolutely, totally fed up! Everywhere we shoot, we pay so much to settle area
boys, still they disrupt our shoot!@AkinwunmiAmbode
"I'm tired of shooting in Lagos! 2 days ago, they broke
bottle to stab my crew and seized my van key. I'm a tax paying citizen of Lagos
State. I shouldn't have to deal with this madness!!! @AkinwunmiAmbode area boys
are messing up my shoot!!!
"Every minute on set costs money. Not shooting right now @AkinwunmiAmbode
because area boys won't let me. I've had to deal with them everyday. Pls help

"#CurrentSituation I am totally fed up! Shooting in
Lagos State is such a difficult experience. I've been settling area boys
everyday yet they still fight us. The other day, they broke a bottle to stab my
crew and seized my van key. You have to settle different factions. I'm a tax
paying citizen of Lagos State. As filmmakers, we pay taxes even on a loss. Na
