Nollywood Actor Godwin Nnadiekwe Hospitalized After Unscripted On-Set Attack.
Actor accuses Zubby Michael of kicking him during filming, leading to serious injury
A Nollywood movie set turned into a real-life emergency on Saturday when popular actor Godwin Nnadiekwe was rushed to the hospital after being seriously injured during filming. The incident happened while shooting a scene for a new Nollywood film, but things took a dangerous turn when an unscripted action left Nnadiekwe fighting for his health.
According to Godwin Nnadiekwe, the trouble started when fellow actor Zubby Michael kicked him hard in the chest during a scene. Nnadiekwe said the kick was not part of the script and was never approved by the film’s management or director. The force of the kick caused internal bleeding, and Nnadiekwe had to be taken to the hospital immediately for urgent medical care.
In his own words, Godwin Nnadiekwe shared,
“The kick was neither scripted nor approved. I was not expecting it, and it caused me serious pain and internal bleeding. I am thankful I got to the hospital in time.”
The incident shocked everyone on set. Crew members and other actors quickly called for help when they saw Nnadiekwe in pain and struggling to breathe. Medical staff at the hospital worked fast to treat his injuries and stop the internal bleeding. Reports say he is now in stable condition but will need time to recover fully.
Nnadiekwe’s family and fans have expressed worry and anger about what happened. Many people are asking questions about safety on Nollywood sets and how such a dangerous situation could happen without warning. Some believe that actors should always be protected and that all fight scenes must be carefully planned and supervised.
Zubby Michael, the actor accused of delivering the kick, has not yet made a public statement about the incident. People are waiting to hear his side of the story and whether the film’s producers will take any action.
The management of the movie has promised to investigate what happened. They said that the safety of actors and crew is very important and that they will make sure such an incident does not happen again.
This event has started a new conversation in Nollywood about the need for better safety rules and more careful planning of action scenes. Many actors have shared their own stories about getting hurt during filming, and they hope this incident will lead to changes in the industry.
For now, Nollywood fans are wishing Godwin Nnadiekwe a quick recovery and hoping that lessons will be learned so that actors can work in a safe environment.
