On October 28, 2025, a disturbing incident reportedly occurred on the set of Lagos to Opulence, a production by Caddilly Productions.
According to the NFCC’s official statement, the Production Manager, Anierobi Courage, popularly known as Nwa South, allegedly assaulted Mary Chizzy Eze, the Head of Makeup and Hair Department.
The NFCC official statement revealed that a video evidence was received showing the manager physically attacking and strangling Eze after she reportedly spoke up against the mistreatment of crew members.
Following the viral video, Courage was arrested, and the victim has since received medical care. In their statement, the Nigeria Film Crew Community condemned the act in strong terms, calling it “inexcusable, unprofessional, and criminal.”
“The role of a Production Manager is to ensure the welfare, safety, and comfort of the entire cast and crew,” the NFCC emphasized.
“A good production manager protects his team, not harms them. This individual chose to do the exact opposite, turning violent and animalistic against the very people he was responsible for managing.”
