The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has officially suspended Nollywood filmmaker Taye Arimoro, directing him to issue a public apology to actress Peggy Ovire following their widely reported clash on a movie set.

 In a related directive, the Guild also instructed Peggy to tender formal letters of apology as part of efforts to restore peace and uphold professional conduct within the industry.

This decision follows days of heated conversation within Nollywood circles, where the Peggy Ovire and Taye Arimoro controversy ignited widespread attention on social media. Their on-set altercation, which sources described as a breakdown in communication that escalated into a verbal confrontation, triggered concerns over rising tensions between actors and directors in an already pressure-filled creative environment.

According to the AGN, both parties violated the Guild’s code of conduct, prompting intervention before the situation intensified further. Arimoro was handed an immediate suspension, with the Guild ordering him to publicly tender an apology to Peggy for his actions. The Guild stated that he must “publicly apologize to Peggy Ovire” as part of the disciplinary measures.

Peggy Ovire, on her part, was not left out of the corrective process. The AGN insisted she must also “submit letters of apology,” signaling that both individuals played roles in the confrontation and bore responsibility for maintaining professionalism on set.

Industry insiders revealed that the strain between the actress and the filmmaker had been simmering for a while due to creative disagreements and communication gaps. While neither Peggy nor Arimoro has publicly addressed the deeper roots of the clash, many observers believe the incident underscores a growing debate about respect, boundaries, and conflict management in Nollywood’s fast-paced production environment.

The AGN emphasized that its primary goal is to prevent further escalation and promote mutual respect among practitioners. By enforcing disciplinary actions on both sides, the Guild hopes to send a strong message that professional misconduct—regardless of status—will not be tolerated.

As Nollywood fans await the response of both Peggy Ovire and Taye Arimoro, the industry watches closely to see whether the mandated apologies will bring closure or spark renewed discussions about leadership, temperament, and accountability on movie sets.
