Details of the deaths have not been confirmed, but the two actors were taken to hospital after having dinner at the director's house where they had been offered a drink. The director and three other people have been arrested in connection with the deaths.
The incident took place almost exactly a year after popular Nollywood actor Junior Pope was found dead during another film shoot in the country. Pope was traveling in a boat along the Niger River when he fell overboard and drowned, The Guardian reports.
