Prolific Nigerian director Obi Emelonye took to Facebook to say he has been arrested during the filming process.

According to the director of "Last Flight to Abuja" and "Mirror Boy" he and his team from the UK were detained by Lagos TV "for making aerial shots of Lagos using remote helicopters".

As the representatives of media house, they should have understood what he was doing, but not arrest him, Emelonye lamented.

The filmmaker obeyed though and asked his fans to pray for him and Nigeria. See the original post below:
