There are strong indications that the multi-milion naira Imo Film Academy which is constructed by Rochas Okorocha-led administration in Imo State, has collapsed.

The Academy,located within the premises of the Imo State College of Advanced Professional Studies, ICAPS, along Egbu Road, Owerri, allegedly collapsed less than two weeks after it was commissioned by the state government.

But reacting to the devastating news when contacted by HVP, the Director-General of the Academy,actress Nkeiru Sylvanus denied the incident, claiming “there was no collapse of building.” According to her, “We relocated because His Excellency wants to build a more befitting structure that will serve the Academy and Imo people better.”

Meanwhile, HVP had gathered that the building collapsed few days ago, less than four months after a new security gate being constructed behind the main entrance gate to the Government House reportedly collapsed.

It was uncertain whether there was any casualty or not, because according to sources, the debris had to be cleared for them to know.

Okorocha had set up the Film Village as part of the measures to promote the identity and cultural heritage of the Igbos. He appointed actress Nkeiru Silvanus who was formerly his Special Assistant, as the Director-General of the Academy.
