Award-winning film producer, Peter Sedufia has described Ghanaian celebrities who are currently promoting the National Lottery Authority [NLA] and their activities online as ‘fearos’ in a new post he shared online.

The director of the popular ‘Aloe Vera’ movie also chastised the Gaming Commission for banning celebrities from promoting anything betting when that could have given them some money just because they cannot stand the competition of such companies.

Peter Sedufia also asked the celebrities to speak up against these directives or go to court to seek proper redress.
