Veteran Nollywood actor and producer Kanayo O. Kanayo has publicly called out teen actress Angel Unigwe and her mother over an alleged breach of contract.

In a video message shared on his Instagram page on Friday, Kanayo accused Unigwe of abandoning a filming contract with his production firm after her mother removed her from the set before the contract’s agreed expiration.

Kanayo urged Nollywood producers to boycott the young actress, threatening to disrupt any shoot involving her.

He described the situation as a recurring issue with Unigwe’s mother, alleging that she has been holding producers to ransom.

“A particular woman has been holding producers to ransom. And this is unfortunate; it has happened to me. Unfortunately, she is Angel Unigwe’s mother. A contract is reached by every producer, whether written or orally. But we found out that immediately after this woman takes money from you, everything changes. I’ve gotten reports from people before it happened to me,” Kanayo stated.

He detailed the incident, saying, “It happened last night that she took her daughter at 9 pm, when a particular day we agreed had not expired. 12 midnight is expiring into another day. She came and took her daughter at 9 pm.”

Kanayo’s message was a direct appeal to fellow producers: “This is a clarion call for every producer. Please, I beg you, in the name of professionalism and all that unites us, from this moment, the 21st day of June 2024, any set that employs the services of Angel Unigwe, I will come to that set and make sure filming does not hold. You guys know what it is for an artiste to walk out on a set. There was no issue. I want to assure all of you, we had a very good working relationship with Angel. [But] Her mother has been threatening many producers. So please, from this moment on, I will monitor every filming schedule. Any set where I find Angel Unigwe would be disrupted.”

As of now, neither Angel Unigwe nor her mother has responded to the allegations.
