Mildred Okwo, a Nigerian filmmaker, has responded to reports that Rita Dominic, her business partner and actress, welcomed twins.

 21st September was agog with news of Rita and her husband, Fidelis Anosike welcoming twins in the United Kingdom.

But Mildred debunked the news in a chat with newsmen, insisting that the viral photo was taken on a movie set.

According to the filmmaker, Rita would certainly issue a press release if she welcomed a child.

She said: “You see somebody on set today, and the next day they have twins; I do not understand.

“If Rita has had a child, would I not send a press release to you guys? Common, it does not make sense.

“Can you imagine? She took a picture while on a movie set. She posted a picture; she is on a movie set; maybe I should call her to find out if she has given birth.

“It is bloggers that are peddling fake news. Kindly ignore them. If she has a child, there is no way that I would not make the announcement and I will definitely not talk to bloggers.”
