Ace Nollywood Director, Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, has been arrested.
According to impeccable sources, the arrest occurred in the early hours
of Tuesday, May 29th 2012 in Lagos. It was learnt that the popular movie
director was arrested in respect of an on-going controversy over
ownership of the movie ADESUWA. The Executive Producer of ADESUWA, John
Chukwuma Abua, has lately been in the news claiming sole ownership of
the movie and further revealed that Lancelot, besides falsely claiming
ownership of ADESUWA, has dubiously negotiated deals on the sale of the
rights to the movie in Nigeria and abroad without his consent. Abua
explained that the arrest was a culmination of several failed attempts
to get Lancelot to hands-off his movie and desist from making any
further deals in respect of ADESUWA. The arrest was effected on Tuesday
at the National Stadium, Surulere, and he has since been in detension in
Asaba, Delta state. Lancelot has been behind bars since then, despite
efforts by Nollywood stakeholders to secure his release.
