Nigeria: Pere Egbi Raises Alarm Over Alleged Unauthorized Streaming of The Silent Intruder on Tubi

Former Big Brother Naija housemate and Nollywood actor Pere Egbi has raised concerns after discovering that his movie, The Silent Intruder, is currently streaming on the Tubi platform without his knowledge or approval.

The actor disclosed the development in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, expressing shock after reportedly finding the film while browsing the streaming platform at home.

“I spent millions on this project, so how exactly does my movie end up on Tubi without my knowledge or consent?” Pere wrote.

So I get home, trying to relax, put on Tubi, and suddenly I’m staring at my own film — the exact same version that played in cinemas across Nigeria.
