The children of late veteran Nollywood actor, Sam Loco Efe, who is yet to be buried, are now five million naira richer courtesy the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Apkabio.

The gesture was made by the Governor at the movie premiere of Nollywood actresses turned producers, Ini Edo and Emem Insong’s I Will Take My Chances. The event took place at the Akwa Ibom States banquet hall on Saturday, September 24.

The event, which saw heavyweights in the make-believe sector of Nigeria like Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD), Ramsey Noah, Genevieve and others in attendance, was also attended by Gov. Akpabio, who was the host.

Gov Akpabio made the donation to the actor’s children in appreciation what the actor did to the
movie industry and how the comic actor affected the people with his talent while he was alive.

This is not the first time the Gov is giving out money to support entertainers. Recently in Lagos,
at the Teslim Balogun stadium, where Nollywood stars played against Music stars in a novelty
match in honour of the late Lady of songs, Christy Essien Igbokwe, the Gov made a similar
gesture.

Sam Loco Efe died some weeks back at his hotel room, where he was shooting a movie. He his slated to be buried later this month.
