Nollywood Producer Threatens To Arrest Tonto Dike

Jumping from one set to another among movie stars has become a recurring decimal in Nollywood and often results in war between the parties involved. This time around the war is between controversial Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh and a notable producer based in Asaba.

It was gathered that the controversial actress disappeared from the set since Monday, and has never bothered to show  up till this moment.

Our source said, Tonto left the set, on the pretext  that she was travelling to Lagos, only for her to  resume work in another production.

As it stands now, the producer is said to have alerted the leadership of the Actors Guild of Nigeria(AGN), and he is threatening to get the actress arrested should she fails to return to his set latest this weekend.

"This is the height of indiscipline in Nollywood. Tonto claimed that she was travelling to Lagos and would be back on Tuesday. Only for her to join another production. We have reported the matter to the Secretary-General of AGN.

"Her absence has delayed the completion of our production which we started nine days ago. We are supposed to be rounding off this weekend but we can't. Tonto cannot disappear  with all the money we have paid her." an angry source fumed.

Directed by Nonso Ekene Okonkwo, Tonto is starring in the movie alongside Frank Atus, Queen Nwokoye, Oluchi Ukaku among other stars. The movie is titled " Blood Rage."
