Nigerian movie producer Adanma Luke has issued a public apology, begging Nigerians to forgive her over the ill-fated tragedy.
Luke, who has been grappling with the backlash she received, expressed deep sorrow and regret over the loss in an Instagram post.
In a deeply emotional statement, she said, “I don’t have much to say, I’m just here to say that I’m sorry.
“I’m sorry, Nigerians, I’m sorry I took away your loved ones, according to what people are saying. I’m very sad, and even though I try to be strong, I still don’t see myself being strong. I’m so sad that this had to happen on my set; I’m so sad that they had to come to work for me at that particular time. I’m not God, this was destined to happen, but then, why me?”
“I never liked the internet drama and all that, but this whole thing put me out there, and a lot of people have been dragging me. A lot of people have been telling me not to talk, I’m trying to heal but it’s not coming back,” Luke stated.
“We all loved JP; we all loved the other people that lost their lives, my crew members. I hadn’t visited Asaba in the past 2 years until that incident, and when I wanted to shoot that movie, I asked for a better location, and they took me there,” she explained.
“It’s not like I didn’t do it on purpose and I’m taking all the blame. Please, Nigerians, I’m sorry; it has happened. I’m gradually losing my life and getting depressed, please forgive me,” she pleaded.
