That Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi has been suspended by the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association (TAMPAN) over his controversial ‘Oko Iyabo’ movie is an established fact.
Be that as it may, few hours after TAMPAN slammed suspension on him, the actor has taken to his Instagram page to challenge the Association.
He said; “I was originally a member of the Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (ANTP), which TAMPAN broke away from.”
“The letter addressed to me is inappropriate and invalid. I did not at any point formalise my TAMPAN membership.”
“I’m originally ANTP member, worst case I’ll renew my membership there. I have never obtained or sign any form with TAMPAN or join any GUILD.”
“I was made to pay for registration which I did but no form collected or formal procedure. The letter is inappropriate, not valid for me as a filmmaker.”
“Any reaction if necessary will be on the basis of human rights violation if I so wish to seek judicial redress. You don’t lose what you never had.”
