Actor Taye Arimoro has reacted to his indefinite suspension by the industry’s top guilds, labelling their statement as “inaccurate” and vowing to contest the ruling legally.

The controversy surrounds an alleged physical assault on the set of “Pieces of Love” involving producer Peggy Ovire.

Arimoro claimed he was attacked after trying to leave the set when his scheduled call time elapsed.

He alleged that Ovire blocked his vehicle, leading to detention and assault by her team.

Arimoro is demanding N100 million compensation from Ovire, dismissing her account as “grossly misleading”.

Ovire, however, stated that Arimoro was the aggressor.

Following their investigation, the joint body of the Directors Guild of Nigeria (DGN), Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), and the Association of Movie Producers (AMP) mandated Arimoro to, issue a public apology to Ovire and the director, release a corrective video stating the actual sequence of events and completed the remaining scenes under supervised conditions.

Arimoro assured that his legal team is addressing the claims, promising a comprehensive response.

“To be honest, the statement given doesn’t capture the facts of the matter in any way, shape, or form!”

“My management and legal team are aware of this, and I will provide a comprehensive response tomorrow. My legal team is also proceeding with the necessary action to address these unfounded claims,” he wrote.
