Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola recently posted a frightening video of Akeem Adeyemi, one of her colleague, being attacked by goons on a set of a movie.
After being assaulted by street thugs in a place where he had gone for a movie shoot, Adeyemi was seen sobbing in a viral video that she posted on her Instagram page on Tuesday.
The actress claims that the attackers changed a quiet scene of filming into a gory one.
She wrote, “See what area boys did, to what end. Peaceful filming turned this. Help. Sawmill Gbagada.”

The Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria, TAMPAN, was also given the go-ahead to take appropriate steps and ensure the security of its members.
He said, “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.”
