Regarding an alleged breach of contract, veteran Nollywood actor and producer Kanayo O. Kanayo has called out teenage actress Angel Unigwe and her mother.
When Unigwe’s mother came and took her home before the contract’s duration expired, the director alleged that Unigwe had broken a filming agreement with his production company.
He threatened to show up to sabotage any filming featuring the teenage girl and urged Nollywood producers to shun her.
“A specific woman has been holding producers to ransom,” Kanayo stated in a video statement posted on his Instagram page on Friday. This is regrettable because I have experienced it myself. She is, regrettably, the mother of Angel Unigwe. Every producer enters into a contract, whether it be verbal or written. However, we discovered that everything changes right away after this woman accepts your money. Before it happened to me, I had complaints from other people.

“She took her daughter at nine o’clock yesterday night, even though we had agreed that the day had not yet ended. The clock is ticking off another day at midnight. At 9:00 p.m., she arrived and picked up her kid.
This is a call to action for all producers. I implore you, in the sake of professionalism and everything that binds us, to visit any set that hires Angel Unigwe’s services on June 21, 2024, and ensure that filming does not take place. You all understand what it’s like for an artist to leave a set. Nothing was wrong. I want to reassure everyone that our working relationship with Angel was excellent. Her mother, however, has been threatening a number of producers. So kindly, I will now keep an eye on every filming schedule. I would disrupt any set where I found Angel Unigwe.
Neither Angel Unigwe nor her mother have addressed the accusations as of yet.
