According to Nnadiekwe, he was kicked in the chest by Michael during filming, an action he states was neither part of the script nor directed by the filmmaker.

The unexpected physical contact reportedly caused Nnadiekwe severe pain, leading to his hospitalization for internal bleeding and ongoing treatment.

Godwin Nnadiekwe took to Instagram to share details about the incident, emphasizing that his intention was not to “call anyone out,” but rather to raise crucial awareness about the importance of safety on movie sets.

He highlighted the critical need for adhering to scripts and ensuring the well-being of everyone involved during filming, especially in environments lacking insurance policies or readily available first aid.

“Just wanted to share an incident that happened on set a few days ago. This isn’t to call anyone out, but it’s a serious reminder to prioritise each other’s safety on set,” Nnadiekwe wrote.

“During a scene, I received a kick to the chest from my colleague who wasn’t part of the script or directed by the director. It’s caused me serious pain. Had to get medication for my chest to feel better today. I did all these by myself. No assistance!”

Every action on set, particularly physical ones, must be intentional and within the director’s vision. Please let us all look out for each other and ensure our sets are always safe spaces where everyone feels secure and protected.

He further elaborated on the potential dangers: “When we’re working without insurance policies or readily available first aid, unexpected physical actions like this, even if accidental, can have real consequences.

Let us commit to sticking to the script and ensuring everyone feels safe and respected. What if something more serious had happened? Or this went south? Every action on set, particularly physical ones, must be intentional and within the director’s vision.

Please let us all look out for each other and ensure our sets are always safe spaces where everyone feels secure and protected. Our health and safety are paramount. Our well-being should always come first. Peace!!!”

Nnadiekwe’s management team later provided an update on his condition, confirming he is undergoing treatment for internal bleeding and expressed gratitude for the concern and well wishes from the public.
