Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing Sunday a.k.a NBS is in for it as the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) is set to use her as a scapegoat to serve as deterrent to others.
This is coming weeks after the Association had pardoned Adams Kehinde a.k.a Lege who apologised to the association after he was handed a ban alongside Nkechi Blessing for constituting nuisance on the social media over the Baba Ijesha rape allegation.
However, the actress has now received a shock of her life as the leadership of TAMPAN has barred the directors in the Association from working with her and another a senior colleague, Iyabo Ojo, threatening to frustrate them out of the industry.
This is contained in a statement by TAMPAN on Sunday June 27th, 2021.
Speaking on behalf of the Members, Board of Trustee of the Association, veteran actor, Jide Kosoko, said;
“The attention of the Board of Trustees of TAMPAN and Elders of the Motion Picture Industry, especially of the Yoruba sector, have been drawn to the malicious damages being done to our sector by some unruly individuals that lack any iota of discipline and seeming to feel to be above the law.”
“As you may be aware, certain unpleasant things have happened lately that has dragged the name of our association, TAMPAN in particular and the industry in general in the mud, which in totality are against what we stand for as individuals and as a group of professionals.”
“We particularly observe the continuous derogatory statements made by Nkechi Blessing and Iyabo Ojo against the Association and the industry as a whole.”
“Please note that we are not against their stand on the issue of alleged rape.”
“Despite the fact that Iyabo Ojo and Nkechi Blessing are not registered members of TAMPAN, the association will not entertain any form of disrespect by both actresses who tried to drag the association in the mud.”
“The association is aware of the derogatory statements made by Iyabo Ojo against the Association and the industry as a wholeTANPAN will not take further insults.”
“Indeed both actresses are not members of the association but TAMPAN can frustrate them out of the industry if they continue to constitute a ‘nuisance’ on social media.”
