Tonto Dikeh, a politician and actress, made headlines for her assessment of the popular film Jagun Jagun.
Tonto confirmed in a statement that Jagun Jagun was the first Nigerian film she had seen in more than 10 or 12 years. She continued by saying that she was left speechless by the film.
Praising the movie cast, Tonto described the movie as phenomenal.
The mother of one, however, stressed that she doesn’t know any of the cast and crew of the movie personally as she only watched it because her international friends recommended it.
