Kanayo made this accusation in a video shared on his Instagram page, where he detailed the alleged misconduct and issued a stern warning to the film industry.
In the video, Kanayo said that Angel Unigwe’s mother has a habit of violating agreements with movie producers after receiving payment.
The actor explained that this issue had come to his attention through various reports, but he personally experienced it recently during a film project.
According to him, an agreement was in place for Angel to stay on set until midnight. However, her mother came to the set at 9 pm and took her away, thereby breaching their contract.
He expressed his frustration and disappointment, emphasizing the impact of such actions on the professionalism and reliability within the Nollywood industry.
Kanayo accused Angel’s mother allegedly holds producers to ransom, disrupting film schedules and causing significant inconvenience.
The actor warned movie producers not to engage Angel Unigwe for any film projects from July 2024.
He threatened to disrupt the production of any set that hires her, stating that he would personally ensure filming does not proceed if his warning is ignored.
This, he said, was a necessary measure to protect the integrity and smooth operation of the entertainment industry in Nigeria.
Despite the severity of his accusations, Kanayo made it clear that his issue was not with Angel Unigwe herself, but solely with her mother.
He described the young actress as talented and professional but lamented that her mother’s actions were damaging her reputation and career prospects.
Kanayo called on the community of producers to support his stance, emphasizing the importance of upholding contractual agreements and maintaining professionalism.
He said, “I am making this video to protect the entertainment industry in Nigeria. A particular woman has been holding producers to ransoms and it is unfortunate it has happened to me. Unfortunately she is Angel Unigwe’s mother.
“A contract is breached by every producers, orally or written and it’s all respected but I found out that immediately this woman takes money from you, everything changes.
“She took her daughter at 9pm when the particular date that we agreed hasn’t expired. She came at 9pm and took her daughter.
“I have gotten reports from people before it happened to me. This is a Clarion call to producers, I beg you in the name of professionalism, from this moment to the first day of July, 2024 any set that employs the services of Angel Unigwe, I will come to that set and make sure filming doesn’t hold. Her mother has been threatening many producers”.
Sharing the video, Kanayo O Kanayo wrote: “ACTORS/PRODUCERS BEWARE
“I am just guiding and protecting the integrity of our profession.M any people have unsavoury experience with Mrs Unigwe. Let them speak forth and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.”
