The boat was carrying Omotola Ekeinde Jolade, Teco Benson and other actors and crew members.<\/p>\n<p>According to Teco Benson, while speaking to <strong>NigeriaFilms.Com<\/strong> on phone, he said, <strong>\u201cthe fault didn\u2019t come from us; it was from the boat operators. They ran out of fuel while conveying us back from location.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He said further, <strong>\u201cwe chartered a very expensive boat, but maybe they never checked the level of their fuel before conveying us with the boat. We were like 22 on that boat.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the thing happened, we were close to the American Embassy, and there was the fear the security operatives might mistake us as terrorists and want to do anything funny, but nothing of such happened or any harassment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe boat operators later called for other boats, which came and took us away from the imminent danger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe stayed like 45mins on water before we were rescued. There was nothing much but for the ladies on the boat who were very fearful and thinking they might die in the Ocean. We thank God that nothing bad happened. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Teco Benson then jokingly said that, <strong>\u201cit was really a funny experience, we were shooting Blood In The Lagoon and I thought the Lagoon wanted our blood in reality.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since the beginning of this year, Nollywood has recorded many deaths too many. We at <strong>NigeriaFilms.Com<\/strong> thank God for saving the lives of those on that boat on Monday, and say a big congratulations to all of them for cheating death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click the link below to go to&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nigeriafilms.com\/news\/15076\/52\/nfc-photo-of-the-day-star-actress-omotola-jalade-e.html\">NFC PHOTO OF THE DAY: STAR ACTRESS OMOTOLA JALADE EKEINDE SHINES ON THE SET OF TECO BENSON\u2019S NEW MOVIE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2011 Nigeriafilms.com.
