Actress and producer Peggy Ovire was sued by Nollywood actor Taye Arimoro for allegedly assaulting her on a film set. Arimoro demanded ₦100 million in damages and a public apology.
According to reports, Arimoro’s contract expired at 11:59 PM on November 11, 2025, but he claimed he was prevented from leaving the set.
According to Arimoro, the production manager stopped his automobile first, and then another vehicle blocked the exit.
He started an Instagram Live to record what was happening because he felt unsafe.
When Ovire and her group allegedly met him at the estate gate, the argument intensified.
He said that he was encircled by multiple persons, that his tires were deflated, and that he had bruises, bite marks, and a cracked jaw.
He further said that during the event, someone interfered with his phone.
According to Arimoro’s attorneys, the incidents infringed upon his rights to personal freedom, mobility, and dignity, resulting in both financial loss and mental pain.
In addition to the ₦100 million payment, they are requesting a public video apology on all of Ovire’s social media sites.
Peggy Ovire was given seven days to reply, but she hasn’t addressed the issue in public.
“@peggyovire” was Arimoro’s caption for the photo. NOTICE OF PRE-ACTION
