“I am making this video to protect the entertainment industry in Nigeria. A particular woman has been holding producers to ransom and it is unfortunate it has happened to me. Unfortunately, she is Angel Unigwe’s mother,” the actor said.
“A contract is breached by every producer, orally or written and it’s all respected but I found out that immediately this woman takes money from you, everything changes. She took her daughter at 9 pm when the particular date that we agreed hadn’t expired. She came at 9 pm and took her daughter.
“I have gotten reports from people before it happened to me. This is a clarion call to producers, I beg you in the name of professionalism, from this moment to the first day of July 2024 any set that employs the services of Angel Unigwe, I will come to that set and make sure filming doesn’t hold. Her mother has been threatening many producers.”
