To my friends


For most of you who have ever commented or sent a chat to me you know I do all I can to respond to them all.

So it hurt me deeply to keep you in silence and in the dark during this period. I couldn’t avoid it.

The calls were maddening. My phone had to be turned off till the matter was resolved in public where it started.

It worried the production that anything I might say as an individual may be misinterpreted further worsening the situation.

I’m truly sorry beyond words for the emotional stress and inconvenience this might have caused you.

It wasn’t a publicity stunt for me as some might still want to have you believe.

It was a huge misunderstanding, misrepresentation and misinterpretation of events of that day and it took a toll on me in ways I cannot explain.

I am however extremely humbled at the love, care and support I got from you during this period. Words fail me. I am indebted to you.

Thanks for being there for me and my family. God bless you and yours. Amen

I am well. It was a movie fire scene that went well.

Ani Iyoho
