Actor Nnadiekwe hospitalized after being kicked on set by Zubby Michael

Nollywood actor Godwin Nnadiekwe has been hospitalized after surviving a kick to the chest from his colleague on set.

Godwin’s team announced his condition on Saturday on Instagram, stating that he was undergoing treatment for internal bleeding.

Godwin had earlier stated that his colleague Zubby Michael went off script on a movie set and kicked him on the chest.

Godwin stated in his post that he was not sharing his experience to throw shades, but to advocate for safety on set.

“Just wanted to share an incident that happened on set a few days ago. This isn’t to call anyone out, but it’s a serious reminder to prioritise each other’s safety on set. During a scene, I received a kick to the chest from my colleague who wasn’t part of the script or directed by the director. It’s caused me serious pain. Had to get medication for my chest to feel better today. I did all these by myself,” he said.

His team later reported that he was rushed to the hospital.

“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.

“We are committed to providing the best possible care and will ensure timely updates are shared with the public and the AGN board. We appreciate your concern and well wishes for Godwin at this time. Keep Godwin in your thoughts. Management,” they wrote.
