‘We started from one million’ - KieKie
According to the actress, she had completed the shoot and was preparing to leave when the group allegedly blocked the garage and demanded payment before allowing her to exit.
Kiekie said the initial demand was ₦1 million, but after prolonged negotiations and pleading, she eventually paid about ₦700,000, reports The Telegraph.
The amount reportedly left her stunned, especially because the content she had filmed lasted only about a minute.
“After going back and forth, I begged them, begged them, I used my mommy to beg them, used my daddy to beg them, I ended up paying something around 700,000. Yes, for a one-minute video,” she said.
Kiekie said what frightened her even more was the number of people who had gathered around her during the incident.
She explained that another shoot around Kara, after Berger, required security, costing the production close to ₦500,000 simply to create a safe environment and film on time.
