A Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Delta State Governor, Ossai Ovie, has criticised Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli for releasing a movie featuring the late actor Alexx Ekubo shortly after his burial, describing the move as an attempt to profit from grief.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Ossai expressed disappointment over Oboli’s decision to premiere ‘The First Lady’ on her YouTube channel, arguing that the timing of the release was inappropriate despite her pledge to donate the proceeds to Ekubo’s family.

“I’m disappointed in Omoni Oboli for using Alexx Ekubo’s burial to promote her movie and to cash out,” he wrote.
