Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw has taken to social media to call out investment platform Piggyvest over an alleged copyright infringement. The veteran star accused the organisation of using a scene from her 2004 Nollywood classic The Stolen Bible without permission.
The Controversy Begins
The controversy started after Piggyvest made a post on Elon Musk's X platform that went viral. In the post, the company replied to a comment with a scene from the movie, where Henshaw's character, Nun Apollo, attempts to pray before a life-size crucifix. In the scene, the Jesus statue unexpectedly springs to life and chases her, symbolising that she was not forgiven for stealing a bible.
Reacting to the post, Henshaw wrote: "No be copyright infringement be this??? You don't have other examples to use??"

Earlier Incident: Chilling Death Experience
Earlier, Henshaw shared a chilling death experience account she received from a fellow gym member. According to the actress, the lady had just returned from a trip and slept soundly, only to wake up to a bullet on her bedroom floor and shattered windows. Henshaw wrote: "Imagine coming back from a trip the night before, bone tired & exhausted. You fall asleep & wake up the next morning, pull up your blinds & see your bedroom window shattered. You look around, wondering what had happened, then you sight a lone bullet on your bedroom floor." She added: "God gave her one more day... Only He could have given her sleep when the enemy wanted to carry out evil. One bullet away from the grave." Fans linked it to a prayer point by Nathaniel Bassey during the Hallelujah Challenge.
