Nollywood star, Sylvester Madu cheats death as gunmen storm film location

Gunmen are said to have stormed a movie set where Nigerian Nollywood actor Sylvester Madu had been invited, killing four persons and injuring more than ten others.

On November 23, 2023, the Nigerian actor who almost dodged death by whiskers reportedly traveled to Bamenda, Cameroon, to engage on a film production.

On Saturday night, he was attacked.

According to witnesses, Cameroonian fans greeted him enthusiastically, unable to contain their joy at finally seeing the star.

But on Saturday, November 25, at around 10 pm, some unidentified gunmen stormed a drinking joint where Madu and a few others were hanging out, causing chaos among those in attendance.

It was discovered that the attack claimed the lives of four people and left over ten with serious injuries.

Fortunately, Sylvester Madu escaped unharmed because the Cameroonian police moved quickly to resolve the issue.

The horrible incident was further confirmed in a press release issued by the film company that invited Sylvester Madu to Cameroon for the shoot.
