Directed by Omotola Oke and Anjola Aluko, and written by Winner Achimugu, the film features a compelling ensemble cast, including Teniola Aladese, Paul Nnadiekwe, Kelechi Udegbe, and Tolu Odewumi. 

The narrative centres on Damola Akinola, who has received anonymous gifts and letters from his absent father every birthday. 

On his 25th birthday, a skeleton is found in the family’s septic tank, prompting a police investigation led by Detective Christie Obi, portrayed by Teniola Aladese. 

As the investigation unfolds, deeply buried family secrets and emotional wounds surface, threatening to dismantle the family’s unity.​

Producer Izzy Besta commented on Aladese’s performance.

“We knew we needed someone with incredible range to play Christie Obi, someone who could carry both the weight of justice and the empathy of a woman witnessing a family’s unravelling. Teniola didn’t just play the role; she transformed it.”​

Gone has been nominated in the Best MultiChoice Talent Factory Film category at the 10th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), which will be held in May 2024 at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.

Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has recently shared his candid reaction to a surprising rumour about his sexuality,​

In an interview, Arukwe recounted his initial reaction to hearing the rumour: that he was gay​

“They said that I was gay, and that shocked me to my balls. I was excited too. Cos I heard that when they start saying those kinds of things, you will blow (famous), so I thought to myself, ‘this must be it.’”​

His response highlights the unexpected nature of the rumour and his ability to find humour in the situation.​

While addressing the rumour, Arukwe expressed his support for the LGBTQ+ community:​

“So, I have a lot of gay friends, they are my people, and I know their sexuality. And I love them to death. I have nothing against them whatsoever, but I’m not going to agree to what I’m not just because to some people they are a certain type of people. For me, let God judge.”​

His comments emphasise respect and acceptance, while also asserting his own identity.​

Arukwe made it clear that if the rumour were true, he would openly embrace it:​

“If it were my sexuality, I would own it. I’ll be one of the hottest around. I would own it with my chest.”​

This statement underscores his commitment to authenticity and self-acceptance.​

He concluded by sharing the most unexpected aspect of the rumor:​

“The most shocking part was the person who they said was my boyfriend.”​

While he didn’t elaborate further, this remark adds a layer of intrigue to the story.​

Arukwe’s candidness and humour in addressing personal rumours reflect his confidence and integrity.
