Few days ago, the internet was set ablaze with the news of an actor in Nigeria named Ani Iyoho, who was allegedly burnt on a movie set while filming #Behind The Wheels.
On Saturday, July 30, 2016, the production crew of the film held a press conference in Lagos, where the actor was presented before the media, showing all was just a publicity stunt and that nothing drastic occurred on the set as they earlier made many Nigerians to believe.
Ani, who looked healthy at the briefing, has now addressed his fans on social media, apologising to them for the whole saga.
“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. 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,” he posted on Facebook.
Later, Ani Iyoho posted a video on YouTube to confirm he is well.
