Nigeria's Ebola Virus hero, Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh's family is considering a Legal battle against one of Nollywood's anticipated movie "93 Days" which centres around the Ebola story in Nigeria.
An upcoming Nollywood movie titled "93 Days" which stars a leading actress, Bimbo Akintola and features Nigerian and international stars, has been slammed with a possible legal action by the family of modern Nigerian hero, Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh who helped prevent the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in Lagos and around Nigeria.
According to reports, the anticipated movie is set to be released this year, and in a letter shared with the media, the family stated;
"The Adadevoh and Cardoso families have not consented to the use of the Stella Adadevoh’s name, likeness or image for commercial profit. The families intend to hold the filmmakers legally accountable for any falsehoods and innuendos in the movie, 93 Days with regard to Dr. Adadevoh and her family."

Definitely a dicey situation as the filmmakers maintain that the movie is 'dedicated' to Dr Adadevoh and her great legacy while the family is clearly unhappy.
