Actress Funke Akindele bagged 10 nominations for her box office record-breaking movie, Battle on Buka Street. She was nominated in 9 categories of AMVCA for Battle on Buka Street, while one was for her series on Africa Magic, My Siblings & I.

A Nollywood movie influencer noticed the snub of Ibrahim Chatta during the nomination of Femi Adebayo’s film King of Thieves. His pivotal role contributed greatly to the success of the movie.

Sharing their thoughts online, many noted that Ibrahim Chatta is a brilliant actor who is good at interpreting different roles perfectly. He has delivered perfectly well since the first time he appeared on the screen as an actor.

One Ibukunoluwa wrote: Make e no act any other scene for that movie, This scene alone deserves an award!!! He is an extraordinary actor.
