Two Nollywood actors have died of suspected food poisoning in Imo State.
The deceased’s identities are yet to be made public.
However information available has it that they were at a movie set in Owerri when their deaths occurred after eating rice and drinking wine on Friday before going to bed.
Two other persons who shared in the meal allegedly provided by an unnamed movie director at a house party, are said to be hospitalised arising from ill-health.
The Imo State Police Command confirmed the incident by a statement credited to Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Henry Okoye.
“Yes, the Command is aware of the unfortunate incident of unnatural death. I can confirm that two people were pronounced dead while two were hospitalised.
“As I speak with you, the Commissioner of Police for Imo State, CP Aboki Danjuma has directed the Pathologist to conduct tests on the two deceased persons to ascertain the cause of their deaths.
“The results will determine the next line of action on the matter,” Okoye reportedly said.
