Actor Taye Arimoro has threatened legal action against his colleague Peggy Ovire, demanding a public apology and N100 million compensation over an alleged assault on a movie set.

The incident reportedly occurred when Taye attempted to leave the set after his contracted working hours had expired but Peggy’s team allegedly blocked his car and deflated the tyres.

Taye shared a viral video showing his injuries, including bleeding gums and lips, and accused Peggy and her crew of physical assault.

However, Peggy denied these allegations, claiming Taye was the aggressor and assaulted two crew members, including her driver, who suffered ear bleeding.

A CCTV footage later surfaced, appearing to contradict Peggy’s account, showing her removing wig and preparing to engage in a fight with Taye.

Taye’s lawyers argue that his rights to personal liberty, movement, and dignity were breached, and he’s seeking damages for emotional trauma, psychological stress, and loss of earnings.

Arimoro captioned the post: “@peggyovire, PRE-ACTION NOTICE. In light of the incident referenced in this correspondence, you have been served. Kindly forward all responses to my solicitors as indicated”.

Peggy has been given a seven-day ultimatum to respond to the allegations or face further legal action.
