Nollywood Director Accused Of Theft And Assault

Nollywood director, Vincent D Anointed has
been accused of theft and assault by a
Canada based Nigerian, Steve Ugo. Mr Ugo
posted details of the incident on his
Instagram page recently, saying he hired
Vincent D Anointed concerning a movie he
planned to produce and upon Vincent’s
advice, came to Nigeria to seal the deal, but
was held hostage by Vincent and three of his
friends, who seized his belongings and asked
for N700, 000.
He further alleged that the director persuaded
him during one of their chats via Facebook,
to send some money into his account so he
could book the actors.
‘Am still reposting because I and my friend,
Chukwudi went through hell at Delta Park
Hotel Asaba, Nigeria, the day we went to
meet @Vincentdanointed. Heaven even
Demons itself must bear me witness that my
purpose of going there was to discuss with
this dude how I can produce my first movie
which was my main reason of going to
motherland africa.
Am so grateful to God I never paid in 1200$
he told me to pay in so that he will book the
actors and actress I need. He advised me to
increase the money to 2200$ so that I will
be able to get more faces in my movie, I told
him I will come down shortly so we can write
the synopsis first, which we accepted
They were four of them that locked me and
my friend up at Delta Park Hotel, Asaba
Nigeria, Vincent D Criminal, Emmanuel
Onuma, Emmanuel Onyemulu and Chinedu
Aniekwe. Emma Onuma later calmed down
when the beating was going on and started
pleading for our release. Vincent D Boss
literally refused, dude eye was red that day.
Vincent the director of Red Mafias and
Obioma the Slave Girl stole my iPhone 5 and
belongings (sic)‘ he wrote. Meanwhile, the
film maker has denied all allegations. While
speaking with Gbenga Bada of Movie
Moments he denied even knowing Ugo; ‘I’ve
been seeing those posts and I keep
wondering how someone I don’t know would
be doing such.
I take it as nothing if you say you were
abducted and robbed, why didn’t you report
to the police. At least I’m not someone you
cannot have access to….I don’t know the
person and I guess whoever he is, he’s only
looking for cheap publicity‘ he said.
Vincent D Anointed is a member of the
