‎Nollywood actor, Godwin Nnadiekwe, has been hospitalized after receiving a kick from his colleague, Zubby Michael, while on set.

‎
‎Taking to his Instagram page, the actor stated that he wants to share an incident that occurred on set a few days ago, while explaining that his aim is not to call anyone out, but to remind everyone about the importance of prioritizing each other's safety.

‎
‎He revealed that while on set, he received a kick to the chest from his colleague, Zubby Michael, while noting that the kick was neither part of the script nor directed by the director.

‎
‎He further explained that it led to serious pain, and he had to get medication to feel better, without the assistance of anyone on the set.

‎
‎Sending a message to his colleagues, he noted that while working without insurance policies or readily available first aid, it is important to stick to the script and ensure that everyone feels safe and respected.

‎“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. No assistance! When we’re working without insurance policies or readily available first aid, unexpected physical actions like this, even if accidental, can have real consequences. Let us commit to sticking to the script and ensuring everyone feels safe and respected.

‎
‎What if something more serious had happened? Or this went south? Every action on set, particularly physical ones, must be intentional and within the director’s vision. Please let us all look out for each other and ensure our sets are always safe spaces where everyone feels secure and protected. Our health and safety are paramount. Our well-being should always come first. Peace !!!”
