Key points:
- A Facebook clip sparked the Ali Nuhu death rumour. Another post then claimed a car crash.
- NFC says the claim is false and unkind. It says Ali Nuhu lives and works.
- The film body vows firm steps against the fake posts. It warns of real effects.
The Nigerian Film Corporation has set the record straight. Its boss, Ali Nuhu, did not die. He lives. He works. He leads the NFC.
The talk began on Facebook. A user, Ifeoma Chigbo, shared a video. She said Ali Nuhu had died. She also said she hoped it was not true. Soon after, a fresh post spread a car crash tale. That post said the star died in a crash. Fans saw the clips. The posts drew fear and noise.
False death claim spreads online
The NFC moved to end the wild talk. The body spoke in a firm note on Monday. Its Public Affairs head, Brian Etuk, signed the note. He called the posts “false and malicious.” He said, “Dr Ali Nuhu is alive and well.” He added that the MD “fully” does his work.
Etuk said the clips used Ali Nuhu’s face. He said the posts tried to mislead the public. He said the acts hurt the man and the office. He asked the public to ignore such lies. He urged fans to share only clear facts.
NFC sets facts straight
The NFC pointed to the record. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu named Ali Nuhu on 12 February 2024. He named him to serve as the NFC chief. Since then, Ali Nuhu has been on the job. He still runs the agency’s plans and work.
The NFC also sent a stark note. It warned those who push the false talk. It said their acts have real, grave results. It said the team has begun right steps. It said those steps would check the trend fast.
Nuhu remains on the job
Ali Nuhu keeps his seat today. He runs key tasks and state work. He leads teams and signs core files. He meets sets and film guilds. He sets goals for the film space. He keeps pace with his brief as MD.
Fans showed care online. Many asked if the post was true. Others begged blogs to fact check first. Some called the claim a cheap trick. They asked sites to stop chasing clout.
