The Islamic Movement in Nigeria, popularly known as Shiites have petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, over a movie featuring veteran actor Pete Edochie and actress Destiny Etiko.

it was reported that the movie titled Fatal Arrogance, directed by movie producer Anosike Kingsley Orji, is said to be portraying the Islamic movement in a bad light.

In the photos shared by actress Destiny Etiko on her official Instagram page, she was covered in a Muslim hijab, the veteran actor who seemed to be her partner in the movie was dressed like the leader of the Shi'ites leader Sheik El-Zakzaky.

It also allege that photos from the movie set portray the incident between the Shiite Sect and the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai in Kaduna, which led to the killing of over 1,000 members of the sect.

The movement then noted that the movie’s storyline is not a coincidence as its title was gotten from a book Fatal Arrogance written by Kuanum Terrence and both convey the same plot.

In a statement released by the movement, film producers were asked to be careful so that they are not used against the oppressed in the society.
