On Wednesday morning, veteran Nollywood actor Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello, revealed that the culprits had been apprehended by law enforcement.

According to him, the act is completely condemnable, unacceptable, and should not be overlooked. He also charged the Nigerian Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association, TAMPAN, with rising to the occasion and investigating the matter.

He wrote, “This is an unacceptable experience. Though I am glad to know that the culprit has been apprehended by officers of the law, I enjoin the leadership of @tampanglobal to look into this situation as a matter of urgency.

“The safety and security of filmmakers are paramount to us. Beyond the physical assault, losing a day of production means more money has to be spent above the budgeted funds. No filmmaker wants to go through such stress. So sorry @iamakeemadeyemi and other production members.”
