Nigerian actor Shoneye Olamilekan otherwise known as Papa Show has been suspended by theAfrican Men Entertainment Kings (AFRIMEK), led by renowned actor Femi Adebayo, following an incident where he allegedly physically assaulted actress Temidayo Morkinyo in a public setting.
The group swiftly condemned the violent behavior and took decisive action to address the incident.
Recalls that Temidayo Morkinyo had accused the actor of physically assaulting her on a movie set.
In a series of posts on her Instagram story, Temidayo claimed that the actor had stormed her movie set in Ibadan, Oyo State with some boys to beat her up.
According to her, Papa Show punched her in the face and left her with a broken lip for reporting his unruly behavior to her bosses on Thursday, May 18.
Narrating the incident, she stated that she was on movie set on Wednesday when Papa Show called her rudely to buy him a drink. She further stated that she felt ridiculed with how he talked to her, but didn’t disobey.
She, however, went to report him to her bosses, Afeez Abiodun Seriki and Niyi Johnson, and they promised to call him to order.
In a surprising twist, the actor stormed her set with some people to beat her up after he was reprimanded.
Temidayo Morkinyo added that her family is calling for justice as the assault has allegedly left her in pain.
Reacting to it, The African Men Entertainment Kings (AFRIMEK) in a letter signed by the Mayor, Femi Adebayo, has distanced itself from the actor.
Femi Adebayo, in the letter, stated that his actions do not represent the identity for which their club stands for and has been known to present.
His shameful act has left the association to sanction him and place him on immediate suspension, while further investigations are ongoing.
The association also sympathize with Temidayo Morkinyo and offered to cover her medical expenses.
