Production and release
The trio of Mildred Okwo, Tunde Babalola and Rita Dominic reunited for this production since the release of their 2012 film, The Meeting.
The film was reported to be removed from Film House Cinemas across Nigeria to make way for the movie Prophetess.[4] Speaking in an interview with The Cable newspapers, director Okwo blamed the action on monopoly in the Nigerian film industry. [5] She mentioned that the same cinema company had removed her 2015 film Surulere, under controversial circumstances. Public reactions following the removal affirmed Okwo's take, and she mentioned that she is planning to go digital via her company's online platforms and streaming services.[citation needed]
