The
big budget movie sponsored by the Nigerian Army, has drawn the ire of citizens,
who have continued to condemn the concept and all persons involved in it.
Kannywood
actor, Yakubu Muhammed, has expressed regret for participating in a movie
titled 'Fatal Arrogance', which depicts members of the Islamic Movement in
Nigeria popularly known as Shiites as terrorists.
The
big budget movie sponsored by the Nigerian Army, has drawn the ire of citizens,
who have continued to condemn the concept and all persons involved in it.
SaharaReporters
gathered that Muhammed has asked producers of the movie to entirely remove his
part from the film and that he was ready to pay damages for that.
Muhammed
told BBC Hausa that he withdrew from the movie because it offended and depicted
the Shiites in a bad light.
Earlier
on Monday, SaharaRepoters had reported how Nollywood veteran, Pete Edochie,
revealed that his life was now under threat for participating in the movie
production.
In
the movie shot in Enugu State and produced by Anosike Kingsley Orji, Edochie
was featured in a role with an outfit resembling Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky,
leader of the Islamic Movement, who has been in detention since December 2015.
The
movie was sponsored by the Nigerian Army as part of a cover up of the December
2015 massacre of Shiites by soldiers.
Over
348 people were said to have been killed, with 347 bodies secretly buried by
the army in a mass grave during that incident.
Islamic
movement in Nigeria alleged that over one thousands of it is followers were mercilessly
killed by the Nigerian army in December 2015.
