Anyone who lived Nigeria in 2001 must have seen the movie ‘Issakaba’. Well, the veteran producer of the movie, Chukwuka Emelionwu was reportedly killed on Wednesday by a hit-and-run driver along Oraukwu road, Anambra State after he had survived an accident with his car.

A colleague of the deceased, Chidi Nwokeabia wrote:

“A man travels 600 kilometers from Lagos to the east with his family, safe trip, nothing happens.

“The same man travels another 600 kilometers back to Lagos with his family, safe trip, nothing happens.

“Yet again after a few days he embarks on another trip of 600 kilometers to the east for a burial of a close relation, safe trip, nothing happens.

“Then after the burial, he heads back to his hometown Neni and just a few kilometers away from home, he is involved in an accident. His car somersaults but he comes out alive and thankful to God for sparing his life but dazed.

“He walks away from the scene, desperate to make a call for help. In his bid to cross the road, an oncoming vehicle hits him. He is rushed to the hospital. Today he is dead.

“Death, so after all your “gra gra” this is all you can do? Shame!

CEO of Kasvid International,  Emelionwu was the producer of several Nollywood movies, including the comedy film “Aki and Paw Paw,” Issakaba” among others.
