Nollywood actor, Godwin Nnadiekwe was hospitalised with internal bleeding after an on-set altercation with colleague Zubby Micheal, which Nnadiekwe says was unscripted.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, Nnadiekwe recounted being kicked in the chest during filming.
Although he did not name the attacker directly, he stressed he had no intention of publicly shaming anyone.
A behind-the-scenes clip that has since gone viral shows Zubby Micheal storming out of a vehicle, vaulting a barricade, and delivering a forceful kick to Nnadiekwe as he stepped out.
After the blow, Micheal calmly entered the house.
Nnadiekwe said the unexpected strike left him in severe pain and was not part of the scene’s choreography.
He also revealed that he had to arrange his own medical care—receiving no first aid or assistance from the production crew.
“During a scene, I received a kick to the chest from my colleague that wasn’t part of the script or directed by the director.
“It caused me serious pains. Had to get medication for my chest to feel better today. I did all these by myself. No assistance!”
He stressed that all physical actions on set should be intentional and under the director’s guidance.
Nnadiekwe also issued an emotional appeal to the film industry, urging actors and producers to prioritise safety, especially in an environment where many productions lack insurance, medical support, or structured safety protocols.
“When we’re working without insurance policies or readily available first aid, unexpected physical actions like this, even if accidental, can have real consequences… What if something more serious had happened?”
Shortly after his post, Nnadiekwe’s management released a public statement confirming that his condition had worsened.
They reported that he had been rushed to hospital and is currently undergoing treatment for internal bleeding. The statement named Zubby Micheal as the colleague involved.
“We regret to inform you that Actor Godwin Nnadiekwe was rushed to the hospital this evening.
“He is undergoing treatment for internal bleeding following an incident involving a kick on the chest during filming with his colleague, Zubby Michael.”
