Actors going to Imo for Bruno’s burial warned against using IPOB colours 

Late veteran actor and movie producer, Bruno Iwuoha Obinna



Burial of veteran actor and film producer, Bruno Iwuoha Obinna who died some weeks back at age 68 took place yesterday in the volatile Imo State.

Nollywood practitioners and friends who travelled to attend the burial at Umunumo Muuanunu Ancient Kingdom in Ehime Mbano LGA, Imo State were seriously warned to avoid colours that have any semblance of IPOB or army.

Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) president, Emeka Rollas issued the warning in a statement on Wednesday, a day before the burial.

The statement tagged, Special Announcement, read in part:

“If you are in Imo State attending this burial with us, please avoid black apparels or colours that look like either Army or IPOB due to the security situation in the country.”

Stay tuned for update on the burial.
