Actor Godwin Nnadiekwe Hospitalised After Freak Incident With Zubby MichaelNollywood actor Godwin Nnadiekwe has been hospitalised following a distressing on-set incident with fellow actor Zubby Michael.Following the incident, Godwin’s management team confirmed his hospitalisation and ongoing treatment for internal injuries while expressing gratitude for the public’s concern and assured fans of continued updates.“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,” the statement read.
Similarly, Godwin, on his microblogging platform Instagram, narrated that the incident occurred during the filming of a scene when Zubby unexpectedly kicked him in the chest, an action that was neither in the script nor instructed by the director. The impact reportedly caused severe pain and led to internal bleeding, for which he is now receiving medical treatment.He further clarified that he wasn’t trying to stir controversy but felt compelled to highlight the need for safety on film sets, especially in an industry where insurance coverage and immediate medical support are often lacking.
“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,” he wrote.
He continued, “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 !!!”
