The statement read:

"On 18' June, 2025, during a production shoot, an actor, Mr Femi Branch, physically assaulted a first Assistant Director on set. He slapped the first A.D. in the presence of witnesses, violating not only professional boundaries but basic human decency."

"Here's what we know:

At location A, the 15 A.D. was insulted and slapped by Mr. Femi Branch after questioning why filming had started without the A.D. and D.P. present. The actor reacted with insults and physical assault when the A.D. stood his ground."

"The crew stood in full solidarity with the 1St A.D. refusing to film until an apology was made. When the actor tried to leave, the gate was locked. Under pressure, an assurance of apology was given. Filming resumed under the 1st A.D's instruction and the actor later apologized to the 1st A.D. and the entire crew."

"We commend the entire production crew for standing firmly against violence and upholding respect and integrity on set."
