Late Adadevoh’s Family May Sue Ebola Filmmakers by whitecloth: 2:01am On Jan 05, 2016 |
The family of the late physician, Dr. Stella
Adadevoh, has threatened to take a legal action
against the makers of 93 Days, a movie dedicated
to the memory of Ebola victims and survivors in
the country.
In a letter issued by Dr. Ama Adadevoh on behalf
of the Cardosos and the Adadevohs in Lagos on
Monday, the families faulted some claims by the
filmmakers that were reflected in the yet-to- be
released movie.
The families noted that even though the script
was given to both families for approval, it claimed
that some aspects of the movie did not represent
the true accounts and role of the late physician
during the Ebola outbreak.
Adadevoh stated, “It has been brought to our
attention that a movie titled, 93 Days , written by
Paul .S. Rowlston and produced by Native
Filmworks, Michelangelo Productions and Bolanle
Austin-Peters Productions, is in works for
imminent release. The movie about Nigeria’s
Ebola story and “dedicated to” Dr. Ameyo Stella
Adadevoh was not endorsed by the family.
“The Adadevoh and Cardoso families have not
consented to the use of the Stella Adadevoh’s
name, likeness or image for commercial profit.
The families intend to hold the filmmakers legally
accountable for any falsehoods and innuendos in
the movie, 93 Days with regard to Dr. Adadevoh
and her family.”
The families stated that they were committed to
ensuring that the true story that pertains to the
late physician was told to the public.
Adadevoh was the first Nigerian to have died of
Ebola after contracting it from an American-
Liberian diplomat, Patrick Sawyer.
She raised the red flag about the viral disease
after Sawyer was admitted at the First
Consultants Hospital, Obalende, Lagos. http://www.punchng.com/late-adadevohs-family-may-sue-ebola-filmmakers/ 1 Like 1 Share

But they consented the making of the movie in the first instance? Movie must remain a movie even Titanic story was blended with some romantic elements to make the movie sale. The family shouldn't be too strict on the producers if they really want the movie to be sold. 10 Likes 1 Share |

I totally get the stance of the family. Those filmmakers love adding false attributes to characters to spice up their story. As long as the filmmakers remove the contents the family is unhappy with, there won't be any lawsuit. 11 Likes |

They even tried giving you the script for your to see....If na Nigeria film makers, you won't be notified @ all. Also, you don't expect them to report everything that happened during this time because the information you have @ your disposal was a reported speech which can also not 100% accurate. Your daughter was the only one that can give a full gist, but she has gone far beyond. So gently cut us some slacks and sit down to enjoy the financial benefits of the epic movie NB: I will only buy the movie to see how perfect humans can interpret the past in the present 7 Likes 1 Share |

The film maker should have been discreet in casting. He doesn't have to use her real name in acting the story. He should have used a discreet cast to tell the story, then dedicate the movie to her. 7 Likes |

The family should tell the film maker what they want and both parties should have an agreement. Not too difficult. |
