Ifeanyi Onyeabor was remanded in the Kirikiri Maximum Prisons by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), when found guilty on a charge of stealing and fraudulent conversion on the 28th of June. The Igo Motion Pictures International boss allegedly defrauded Steve-James Nigeria Limited of N8.9 Million, made available to him for the production of two movies; ‘Tribes’ and ‘Young Amazon’. Onyeabor according to the complainant and EFCC prosecutor, didn’t just collect up to the sum of N6 Million and convert to personal use, but also fraudulently converted some of the company’s properties to funds amounting up to N1.86 Million and therefore remanded in prison. A bail application court hearing was scheduled for July 11th, but was unable to hold due to the Lagos flood.
Ifeanyi Onyeabor is best known for movies like ‘Baby Guard’ starring the late Ashley Nwosu in 2005, ‘Love Nwatiti’ starring Aki& Pawpaw in 2003 and ‘Silent Book’ starring Omotola Jalade Ekehinde, Alex Usifo and Emeka Enyiocha in 2003.
