Musa Ibrahim Reveals Spiritual Ordeal After 2007 Horror Movie 666
Nollywood actor Musa Ibrahim has opened up about the severe spiritual battles he faced after starring in the 2007 horror film 666 (Beware the End Is at Hand). In a recent interview with content creator Lucky Udu, shared on social media on May 26, 2026, the actor disclosed that the role brought unexpected challenges, including a life-threatening accident that kept him hospitalized for nearly two years.
Ibrahim, who played a lead role in the movie, explained that the production was not ordinary. He said, “So many things happened in my life when people didn’t see me on the screen. That film 666 is not an ordinary film. I started having issues, spiritual attacks. After the movie, I was involved in an accident. I was in the hospital for one to two years to recover. After that, I left entertainment for some time.”
The actor, a colleague of veterans Aki and Pawpaw, emphasized that behind-the-scenes realities are far different from what audiences perceive. “The attack was not ordinary. For you to expose devils is not an easy task. Regina Askia, after acting in Snake Girl, left the industry. Those movies have their effects,” he added.
The film 666, directed by Ugo Ugbor, features a cast including Prince Emeka Ani as Lucifer, Clem Ohameze, Kenneth Okonkwo, and Musa Ibrahim. The movie remains a cult classic in Nollywood horror.
Reactions from Nigerians
The revelation sparked mixed reactions on social media. Many users shared their own thoughts and experiences. User izegbo_ya commented: “The mark of 666 end time… the mark is everywhere. I remember the movie just like yesterday. May God keep protecting us from things we can’t see.”

kaima_baddie shared a personal testimony: “Yes, it has affected those who are not spiritually strong. I was in the movie industry and saw the counter people had while on set. I watched some manifesting. Even one lady acted dead and was buried in a casket. After that set, the lady died for real. So many encounters I have seen with my eyes. Thank God you survived it.”
sadboy_tutu humorously added: “If so Kanayor O Kanayor and Pete Edochie no for dey sleep again for night.”
Broader Context of Nollywood Struggles
This revelation comes amid ongoing discussions about the challenges faced by Nollywood actors. Recently, actor Sunday Olaoluwa Afolabi was spotted driving a commercial bus in Lagos, highlighting the financial struggles of veteran performers. Such stories underscore the often-unseen hardships behind the glitz of the film industry.
Musa Ibrahim’s account serves as a reminder of the spiritual and physical toll that certain roles can take on actors, especially those involving dark or occult themes. His story has reignited conversations about the need for spiritual protection and mental health support within the industry.
