Nollywood actress and DG of ROK Studios, Mary Remmy Njoku
has waded into the controversy surrounding blacklisting of actresses Iyabo Ojo
and Nkechi Blessing Sunday by Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners
Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN).
Recall that TAMPAN in its notice suspended Iyabo Ojo, Nkechi
Blessing accusing the actresses of “reckless accusations, abuses and
embarrassment of our sector“.
The communique noted that an offence against one is an
offence against all, adding that the association will no longer tolerate
“infringements”.
The TAMPAN BoT further declared that its action against Iyabo Ojo does not mean it supports acts of criminal behaviour in whatever guise.
But, Njoku in an Instagram post, reacting to the ban, said
that there was nothing like overreaction when there are allegations of rape or
child molestation.
Mary expressed disappointment in TAMPAN.
She commended the actresses for using their platforms to
speak up against such acts.
Her post read, “Where there are allegations of rape or child
molestation there is no such thing as overreaction. Today in Nigeria I don’t
believe we are reacting enough.
“I stand with and want to thank these two strong women who
have used their time and platforms to speak up against it. You both are my
crush today and always.”
