Ewout Genemans was temporarily detained in Nigeria during the filming of his new series Ewout: Dangerous Prisons, the presenter’s team told RTL Boulevard.
Genemans was in the country to film in a prison, for which he had permission. A conflict reportedly arose during filming. The presenter and his team were then detained for six hours.
They are “enorm geschrokken” (enormously shocked), but are now free and hope to leave the country as soon as possible. The presenter also had to delete part of the recorded footage.
In Ewout: Dangerous Prisons, the presenter films in prisons in different countries to see how detainees live there. It is not yet known when the new program will be shown.
