Kemi Filani reported hours ago that Lateef and Mo Bimpe had gotten the support of the Ekiti State Government to produce a movie on the Ekiti Parapo War. The film will capture the struggle and triumph of the Ekiti people against oppression, telling the story of the war in detail and with a world-class production.
This was disclosed by Yinka Oyebode, the Special Adviser on Media to Governor Biodun Oyebanji, on Tuesday. According to Oyebode, Oyebanji approved the production of the film at a meeting in Ado-Ekiti on Monday.
The film will be produced based on a collaboration between the State Ministry of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy and AL Notions Film Company owned by the Nollywood couple. Oyebode said the project will be fully funded by the private sector and will be led by AL Notions Film Company, the producers of Lisabi: The Uprising.
