Big Tyme Entertainment studios owned by comedian Eric Omondi suffered a major blow after they were shut down by NMS on Monday.
Studios of Eric Omondi’s studio marked as an illegal entity
In a post on Instagram, Eric Omondi claimed the studios located in Lavington were shut down by Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) on grounds they were located in a residential area and was ordered to vacate immediately.
“We woke up today at Big Tyme Entertainment to this ‘Illegal NMS, Site closed on 30/11/2020,” Omondi posted.
“They are saying we are not supposed to have a business in this area, while we have Coke Studios here, we have Azam TV, three schools here, offices but they are saying we are not supposed to have a business here because it’s a residential area,” said Omondi.
Omondi shared a video explaining how NMS sprayed his gates branding it as an illegal entity while he swore to stay put arguing that he was not the only commercial entity in the area.
“First and foremost, we are not going anywhere, we will be here for a very long time. Vijana wakilala wanahukumiwa, Wakiiba wanauliwa, wakiamka kufanya kazi ma Cartels wanawaziba…But this time they have touched a Live wire and they will burn!!! They are playing with the wrong person,” he said.
Omondi blamed an unnamed woman for his woes at the Lavington address.
“So, I am told there is a woman whom I have never met who is responsible for all this. I don’t know her but I am told she even came to my studios during my launch. I don’t know who has paid her but I want to tell her I am giving her 24 hours to come clean this gate and send me a written APOLOGY,” he added.
Last week, Eric Omondi had an exchange with Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Ezekiel Mutua, who reprimanded the defiant comedian over his social media stunts.
Efforts by this writer to get a comment from NMS on the allegations by Omondi were unsuccessful by the time this story was published.
