Producer Ope Banwo just fired off a letter to the Association of Movie Producers boss Queen Ebigieson, calling out their handling of the Taye Arimoro versus Peggy Ovire set drama from Pieces of Love. The filmmaker slash lawyer thinks the guild verdict looked totally lopsided, and he listed seven problems with how they handled the whole mess.
Banwo basically said AMP ignored the unlawful detention angle, sent weird mixed signals by calling someone not guilty while still making them apologize, and showed producers can apparently get away with sketchy security practices. He wants the association to build a proper code, ban unlawful holding of cast and crew, require ethics training for production teams, and set up anonymous reporting for abuse.
The guy owns Aixflix360 and Nollywood Fanatics, and he wrapped his complaint by asking leadership to reconsider the sanctions and actually push these reforms through so the industry stops looking unprofessional.
