“After serious meeting with stakeholders in the movie industry, we realised we need to safeguard our lives and we have decided to suspend movie productions.
“This will take effect from March 27 until April 17; we should remain in our homes and observe personal cleanliness coupled with the preventive measures stated by the health officials
“Avoid social gatherings and remain tenacious in prayers to God.
“You all know that our job requires some kind of division of labour which will require lots of people to come together so we need to take this decision.
