The filmmaker threatened to publicly name the cinemas involved if the issue continued.
Nigerian filmmakers Toyin Abraham, Niyi Akinmolayan and Ini Edo have accused cinema operators of deliberately undermining their films through unfavourable screening times and alleged ticketing misconduct.
Ms Abraham, whose film “Oversabi Aunty” is currently showing in cinemas, alleged that some exhibitors assigned her movie poor screening slots while redirecting audiences to other films.
