•Three others arrested with arms, ammunition

An acclaimed Nollywood actor, Mike Omoruyi, is in custody of police operatives attached to the Delta State Police Rapid Response Squad, over illegal possession of arms hired for movie production.

Acting Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Delta Command, DSP Bright Edafe, in a statement, said the 38-year-old movie actor was arrested June 15 after a search on him along Obiaruku/Umuedu road in Ethiope East Local Government Area of the state.

According to the PPRO, one Lar rifle without a magazine, one fabricated AK-47 rifle, one Air rifle, one Pump action, one English double barrel gun and two toy guns were recovered from him.

Edafe, however, disclosed that upon investigation, it was discovered that the actor actually hired the weapons from a 57-year-old Chief Otuya Josiah from Umuedu community for N50,000, adding that the chief had confessed renting out the weapons to him and further investigations were ongoing.

Na prop for his movie

Problem no dey ever finish.

Real guns for movie?

Enough of the excuse, you don’t go about without license to even hire a gun. You must get clearance from the state police command before engaging in hiring from a licensed dealer. If not you all are going to taste ASABA prison-movie cast



Ps: all of una wey dey quote me abeg Fulani na part of Nigeria people, Kanuri. I believe in Christian/Muslim cohabitation. A Society where religion beliefs won’t harm humans. If their is still Nigeria today then you should work to get on the seat of affairs and set it right or shatter it . Period

That face looks older than 37

Why didn't he ask his fellow producers how they do it?


Now the police have rushed to parade him.

Don't you watch nollywood movies

37years old wey look like 80years.na wa o

Rushing to parade suspects in front of the media is not good for our policing system, it's injurious to investigation and archaic in this modern time.

'Rushing' is what I totally condemn here. The police as a sensitive institution should have grown above this childish practise. A thorough investigation should have been done before parading the suspects.

Little wonder why most arrests and high calibre criminal case don't get either prosecuted or won in court because of want of evidence.

If this suspect is truly an Hollywood actor, common sense demands that he should notify the police before attempting to feature any weapon in shooting/movie location because of the fluid security situation in the country

He's shooting a movie. Police should release him please we don't want the release date of the highly aniticipated Issakaba Boys vs Unknown Gunmen premiere set back cuz of this.

I can't wait for the film to come out o

They need to investigate what the guns were for.
