"We, therefore, wish to put it on record that the Kada Cinemas is NOT BURNT DOWN. All other sections: The VIP, Studios 1, 2 and 3 are not affected and are intact.
"Businesses at the complex including the Bistro, and ticketing areas are fully functional. However, once cleaning is completed, hopefully, later on , the cinema will be opened to movie lovers and fun seekers within the week.
"We call on the public to disregard the misinformation going on in Social Media regarding Kada Cinemas.
"Ojoi maintained that the management remain committed to serving the members of the public the best of entertainment and relaxation while seeking for support and understanding in the present circumstances.
He revealed that the management is working with the relevant agencies to determine what led to the fire incident, while we commend the EPZ fire fighters for their prompt intervention.
