Ghanaian actor and filmmaker Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has claimed that the production of his latest movie project, “Ibrahim Traoré,” has been disrupted following an attack by unidentified armed men on motorbikes.
In a statement made via his official social media platforms, Lilwin reported that the assailants stormed the set of the movie, destroyed equipment and props, and caused significant disruption. According to him, the attack occurred without warning during a shoot. Fortunately, no one was physically harmed during the alleged incident.
Lilwin did not provide video footage or third-party confirmation of the event, and no official police statement has been released at the time of this report. The absence of independent verification has led to public speculation and calls for further clarity.
“We were peacefully shooting our ‘Ibrahim Traoré’ movie when armed men on motorbikes came and destroyed everything,” Lilwin said in his post. “Though no one was harmed, this has forced us to halt all production activities. This project meant a lot to us and to Africa.”
The “Ibrahim Traoré” film, inspired by the leadership of Burkinabè President Captain Ibrahim Traoré, was anticipated to be one of Lilwin’s most ambitious works—blending historical storytelling with contemporary African political themes.
Reactions online have been mixed. While many fans and fellow entertainers have expressed solidarity and support, others have called for more transparency, urging authorities to investigate and verify the claims. As of now, no arrests have been made, and the motives behind the alleged attack remain unknown.
All production on “Ibrahim Traoré” has been suspended indefinitely, pending further assessment and investigations.
