Filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan
Filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has dismissed reports alleging that he owes FirstBank ₦5 billion over a loan reportedly obtained to finance his 2022 film, Aníkúlápó, describing the claim as false.
Reacting in a video shared on Friday, Afolayan said there was no litigation with the bank and that neither he nor his company owed anyone ₦5 billion.
“I try not to do this, but for whatever it is worth, and also for those who are well-wishers, friends and family who are really worried about the publication of this nonsense they are spreading around, saying we’re owing ₦5 billion, I really wish,” he said.
The filmmaker joked that he would gladly accept such a facility if any bank was willing to provide it.
