Mo Abudu to produce Hushpuppi’s biopic
Nollywood producer, Mo Abudu has disclosed her intention to produce the biopic of infamous fraudster Hushpuppi.
The Ebony Life CEO said she would be producing the film in partnership with Hollywood filmmaker Will Packer.
Explaining why she has a special interest in telling Hushpuppi’s story via a film, Abudu said stories like that have a lot of lessons that can be learned.
The revered filmmaker, therefore, noted that due to the lessons that may be taught through Hushpuppi's story, if she had not picked interest in it, another person would tell it to preserve its authenticity.
Hushpuppi, who recently made news headlines after indicting Abba Kyari, one of Nigeria's most decorated cops, was arrested in Dubai, the United Arab Emirate (UAE) in 2020, and subsequently extradited to the US for prosecution.
