Stanley Okoro: Nollywood actor was poisoned at movie location – Family alleges

The family of Stanley Okoro, the fast-rising Nollywood actor that died few days ago, has alleged that the movie star was poisoned by colleagues.

According to the family, Okoro was poisoned after successfully completing a movie shoot in a hotel at the Maryland area of Enugu State.

The family alleged that he proceeded for another movie shoot in Asaba in Delta State but that unlike him, no pictures were taken to know those he was on set with.

Although they cannot tell if the 23-year-old actor was having problems with anybody that would want him dead, the family said that Okoro’s only problem was his obsession with food.

So whenever he asked me for food, (usually I’m very busy) I’d send a Keke (tricycle) driver to go and deliver it. I have one Hausa Keke driver that usually did that for me or I’d go myself or my other Cousin wouodl go herself or send one of her girls.

“But this last time, he came, we only talked on the phone. They were in Enugu for a movie shoot. Their location was at Mariland, Enugu. Thereafter, he left for Asaba for another one.”

So after the movie shoot, he went back. He apologised that this time, he could not meet with us but that he’d be coming back the next week. Stanley left Enugu four days ago to Asaba and said he’d be coming back next week that they have another movie to shoot.

He lived in Owerri(Imo State) but this poisoning could have happened in Enugu or Asaba. Immediately he got back to Owerri, the thing started happening to him as if he had a stroke and he started vomiting. He was vomiting black liquid. A native doctor invited even disclosed he was poisoned. Stanley was walking to the toilet when he shouted for help over a burning chest and collapsed.
