The scene, captured in a now-viral video shared by filmmaker Amarachi Okeugo, showed a tense confrontation as officers removed the actors, halting production.

Okeugo alleged that the arrests were triggered by another production company accusing the actors of breaching a previous contract, though the actors claimed they had fulfilled all prior commitments.

“The other production company came to our location and got these actors arrested, right on our set,” she wrote.

“They didn’t make any effort to reach out to us or verify facts before acting. The disrespect, disorganization, and emotional distress this caused cannot be overstated.”
