The Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC) has firmly dismissed viral rumors claiming that its Managing Director, Ali Nuhu, has died. The false reports began circulating after a Facebook user, Ifeoma Chigbo, posted a misleading video suggesting that the actor and filmmaker had passed away. Another post soon followed, alleging he had died in a car accident.
NFC’s Director of Public Affairs, Brian Etuk, swiftly responded with an official statement. He confirmed that Ali Nuhu remains alive, healthy, and fully active in his duties. Etuk labeled the rumors as false, malicious, and deliberately harmful.
“These reports didn’t just spread misinformation they attacked the integrity of a respected public figure,” Etuk said. “Dr. Ali Nuhu continues to serve as Managing Director of NFC, a position President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed him to on February 12, 2024.”
Etuk also revealed that NFC has launched actions to track down and hold the individuals responsible for spreading the fake news. The Corporation warned that anyone involved would face serious consequences.
“We’ve started the necessary steps to address this harmful behavior,” Etuk added. “We won’t ignore attempts to defame or destabilize our leadership.”
The NFC also thanked the public and stakeholders for showing concern and standing by the truth. The agency reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and strongly condemned the spread of falsehoods.
