The Nigerian entertainment industry was thrown into mourning when a popular scriptwriter, director and producer, Chico Ejiro, passed away on Christmas Day. He was said to have suddenly died at about 2am. Ejiro, who was popular for movies such as ‘Silent Night’, ‘True Romance’, ‘Blood Money’ and ‘Night Bus to Lagos, was said to be recovering from an illness and had just finished shooting a movie.
Meanwhile, his colleagues, friends and fans have continued to pay tributes to the prolific filmmaker.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, popular actor, Kanayo O Kanayo, stated that Ejiro ‘led the pack in Nigerian film production’. He said, “He was an asset to the community of filmmakers and remained relevant to the industry until his last moment. In fact, I saw the picture he was said to have posted (on social media) two days before his death. That means he was still active.
