LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)-The management team of fast-rising Nollywood actor Godwin Nnadiekwe has released a statement updating fans on his health following a troubling on-set incident involving fellow actor Zubby Michael.
According to the statement, Nnadiekwe was rushed to the hospital after being kicked in the chest by Zubby Michael during the filming of a movie. He is currently hospitalized and receiving medical care.
The team further revealed that Nnadiekwe had previously suffered a severe chest injury in a gym accident on December 22, 2023, when a weight fell on him.
That incident required a two-month recovery period, and his management believes the prior injury may have made him more vulnerable during the recent on-set altercation.
“We are sharing an important update regarding actor Godwin Nnadiekwe. On December 22, 2023, Godwin sustained a severe chest injury due to a gym accident involving a fallen weight,”
“This incident necessitated a two-month recovery period. Godwin’s experience brings to light a powerful truth—everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about. Our actions, even when well-intentioned, can cause unforeseen harm,” the statement reads.
The management concluded the statement with a heartfelt plea saying, “Please join us in extending your thoughts and prayers to Godwin as he continues to heal.”
As of now, both Zubby Michael and his management team have remained silent on the matter, a silence that is fueling public speculation and controversy.
Fans and industry watchers alike are waiting to see how events unfold as many questions if the incident would escalate into a legal dispute.
