Kanayo O Kanayo calls out teen actress Angel Unigwe over ‘breach of contract’

When Unigwe's mother came and took her home before the contract's duration expired, the director alleged that Unigwe had broken a filming agreement with his production company.

He threatened to show up to sabotage any filming featuring the teenage girl and urged Nollywood producers to shun her.

Kanayo stated in a video statement posted on Friday and posted on his Instagram page,

“A particular woman has been holding producers to ransom. And this is unfortunate; it has happened to me. Unfortunately, she is Angel Unigwe’s mother. A contract is reached by every producer, whether written or orally. But we found out that immediately after this woman takes money from you, everything changes. I’ve gotten reports from people before it happened to me.

“It happened last night that she took her daughter at 9 pm, when a particular day we agreed had not expired. 12 midnight is expiring into another day. She came and took her daughter at 9 pm.

“This is a clarion call for every producer. Please, I beg you, in the name of professionalism and all that unites us, from this moment, the 21st day of June 2024, any set that employs the services of Angel Unigwe, I will come to that set and make sure filming does not hold. You guys know what it is for an artiste to walk out on a set. There was no issue. I want to assure all of you, we had very good working relationship with Angel. [But] Her mother has been threatening many producers. So please, from this moment on, I will monitor every filming schedule. Any set where I found Angel Unigwe would be disrupted.”
