Chief Executive Officer of the National Film Authority (NFA), Kafui Danku, has provided an update on accusations by Nigerian actress Bimbo Ademoye regarding alleged piracy of her movie in Ghana.
Speaking on Hitz FM, Kafui Danku revealed that Bimbo Ademoye failed to provide concrete evidence to substantiate her claims. “We were ready to resolve the matter and even reached out to her for proof so the issue could be officially addressed. However, we were met with a ridiculous response that whoever sent her the message did so in disappearing mode,” she explained.
Without concrete evidence, the NFA was forced to stall the process. Kafui Danku also highlighted that the Film Authority works in collaboration with other bodies, including the National Communications Authority (NCA) and the Ministry of Communications, to tackle piracy, which often prolongs investigations.
“Some of the TV stations engaged in these breaches can’t even be located, and most are not mainstream,” she noted.
The piracy conversation resurfaced after Nigerian actor Nosa Rex went on a social media rant using unprintable words against Ghanaians and the entertainment industry over alleged piracy of his film.
Kafui Danku condemned the outburst, stating it was unfortunate for actors to attack an entire country without evidence.
“Other filmmakers follow due process by contacting the NFA directly with evidence. Nosa choosing to insult the country instead of using the right process makes some of us not even willing to act on their behalf,” she added, urging patience as the authority continues to clamp down on offenders.
