The Criminal Investigation Department of the Lagos State Police Command has launched an investigation into the mysterious death of two Nollywood production crew members found lifeless inside a parked vehicle within a premises in Lekki Phase 1, where a movie was being filmed.
Punch reports that the deceased persons identified as lighting director Ekemini “GeeTee” Imeh and his associate, Ayodeji Walter Odediran, were discovered unresponsive on Saturday, in a car parked within the premises of a popular hospital which was being used for filming.
A police source who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Imeh and Odediran had arrived early at the movie location to install lighting equipment. Upon completion of their task, they went to relax inside a Nissan vehicle parked on the premises. Concern, however, arose when repeated calls to them went unanswered. They were later found lifeless in the vehicle.
“The two crew members arrived early on set and completed installation of lighting equipment before shooting began. They were later said to have entered a tinted Nissan vehicle to rest while awaiting further production activities for a movie reportedly directed by former Big Brother Naija housemate Boma.
I’m At about 11 am, a production staff member allegedly delivered breakfast to them inside the vehicle. The air-conditioning was said to be on, and both men appeared relaxed at the time. While the filming was ongoing, calls to their phones went unanswered. It was after the filming ended around 8pm that their lifeless bodies were later found in the vehicle.”
