A trending video circulating on social media shows Femi Branch being blocked at the exit gate by security personnel and the victim’s colleagues.

Voices in the video can be heard saying, “You can’t leave here until you go back to finish the remaining shooting.”

In the heated exchange, Femi Branch was heard confronting the director: “Did I have business with you? Are you the one that called me on this set? Did you bring me here to insult me or what is the meaning of this?”

The director calmly responded, “Hello sir, can we just start the filming?”

Branch retorted, “Please don’t talk to me, you don’t have control of your set.”

The director then directly addressed the alleged assault: “You are insulting someone on my set, did I not even tell you it’s enough during the altercation? I don’t necessarily have to talk to you. Let’s just shoot this film and go. You slapped somebody on my set, was I not the one you slapped? Oga no problem, you have done your own.”

Turning to the security personnel, the actor threatened to report them to the estate management for preventing his departure.
