Popular Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has revealed how he was defrauded of money he borrowed from his father to produce his own movie. He also shared how some colleagues in the movie industry supported him during the difficult time.
In an interview posted on the official YouTube channel of Babaibe TV, Lateef explained that to this day, he has been unable to locate the actor who scammed him out of the funds intended for his film project.
In his statement, he said, “I borrowed money from my father, but unfortunately I could not make any profit from the money. The actor that collected the money from me is still owing me 400,000 naira. I still can’t find the actor that duped me out of the money I borrowed from my dad for a movie. Despite the disappointment, I didn’t give up, and Yinka Quadri, Fathia Williams, and late actress Bisi Komolafe were the ones that helped me to get over the situation.”
