Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Chatta recently shared an unpleasant incident from his film village in Oyo State.
In a video, a visibly upset Chatta explained how one of his staff members injured a pregnant horse while trying to capture it.
The staff member, seen kneeling and held by two men, begged Chatta for forgiveness.
Speaking in both English and Yoruba, Chatta threatened to take the staff member to the police unless social media users intervened on his behalf.
Chatta expressed his anger, stating, “You are using God to beg me, even God hates this. This is animal cruelty. If social media users ask me not to take you to the police station, you wouldn’t go.”

The incident triggered reactions from netizens who weighed in accordingly.

Running a business in this environment is already challenging enough, so let him express his frustration without judgment. He has invested significant resources into creating a unique setting for his movies, and it’s essential to respect his efforts.”
