The president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Ibinabo Fiberesima, has called on her
colleagues in the entertainment industry to come together and put an end to the incessant death being experienced in the industry lately.

Her unedited message reads,
"With the incessant death occurring in the entertainment industry this year, it's high time we put a stop 2 it. We must surrender our lives to Almighty God irrespective of our religious believes.
"Let's come together and embark on prayers and commit our industry and practitioners to God. We need serious Prayers. We must reject death in the entertainment industry.
