Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing has reacted to a ban by the leadership of the Theater Arts and Motion Picture Producers Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN)
TAMPAN had issued a warning to movie directors and producers directing them not to work with Nkechi Blessing or with Iyabo Ojo.
EkoHotBlog had earlier reported that the Board of Trustees (BoT) and Elders of the industry waded into the legal matter involving Olarenwaju Oyiminka aka Baba Ijesha.
Iyabo Ojo and Nkechi Blessing had called for justice for the girl allegedly raped and molested by Baba Ijesha.
Iyabo Ojo had also led a protest against the release of the accused from prison.
However, TAMPAN, on Sunday, condemned the “malicious damages” by “unruly individuals that lack any iota of discipline and seem to feel to be above the law”.

The actresses were also accused of engaging in social media fights with other colleagues over the Baba Ijesha alleged rape incident.
Noting that they were against all forms of sexual assault, the statement accused Iyabo Ojo of “reckless accusations, abuses and embarrassment of our sector”.
“If we allow the continuous blackmail to go unchecked, the current situation will continue to grow to the detriment of humble practitioners, whose only source of livelihood is the practice of Indigenous language movies.” it added.
