Veteran Nollywood actor Femi Branch was stopped from leaving a movie location after allegedly assaulting the assistant director.
In a trending video on social media, Femi Branch was blocked at the exit gate of the movie location by security and the victim’s colleagues, who were heard saying, “You can’t leave here until you go back to finish the remaining shooting”.
Femi Branch was heard telling the director, “Did I have business with you? Are you the one that called me on this set? Did you bring me here to insult me or what is the meaning of this?”
The director responded, “Hello sir, can we just start the filming?”
Femi Branch: “Please don’t talk to me, you don’t have control of your set”.

The director replied: “You are insulting someone on my set, did I not even tell you is enough during the altercation? I don’t necessarily have to talk to you. Let’s just shoot this film and go. You slapped somebody on my set, was I not the one you slapped? Oga no problem, you have done your own.”
Turning to the security, the actor threatened to report them to the estate management for blocking him from leaving.
