The family of Stanley Okoro, the fast-rising Nollywood actor that died few days ago, has finally spoken up on the death of the actor.
According to the family, Stanley, who was popularly known for his comedy roles in movies was allegedly poisoned by colleagues.
The family said Okoro was poisoned after successfully completing a movie shoot in a hotel at the Maryland area of Enugu State, adding that he proceeded for another movie shoot in Asaba in Delta State but that unlike him, no pictures were taken to know those he was on set with.
A very close Cousin to the deceased, Okoro Nneka Loveth, told Metronetworknews on Friday that the 23-years-old late actor loved people and carried everyone along.
Her words, “Stanley happens to be my Cousin. A very close Cousin. Stanley was poisoned. And the person that poisoned him was among the people on set with him as of last week”.
“Usually, whenever he comes to Enugu, he’d either call me for food or call one of our Cousins to get him food. Stanley liked food a lot. He ate a lot”.
“So whenever he asked me for food, (usually i’m very busy) I’d send a Keke (tricycle) driver to go and deliver it”.
I have one Hausa Keke driver that usually did that for me or I’d go myself or my other Cousin would go herself or send one of her girls”.
“But this last time, he came, we only talked on the phone. They were in Enugu for a movie shoot. Their location was at Mariland, Enugu. Thereafter, he left for Asaba for another one.”
“So after the movie shoot, he went back. He apologised that this time, he could not meet with us but that he’d be coming back the next week. Stanley left Enugu four days ago to Asaba and said he’d be coming back next week that they have another movie to shoot”.
