Police Arrests Nollywood Production Manager For Assaulting Crew Member
Lagos State Police have arrested Anierobi Courage, a Nollywood production manager better known as Nwa South, following allegations that he assaulted a crew member.
The incident reportedly occurred on October 28, 2025, while on the set of the film “Lagos to Opulence.”
Courage allegedly assaulted the head of makeup, Mary Chizzy Eze.
A trending video capturing the altercation showed the production manager first slapping Mary, then proceeding to “press Mary’s throat.”
This physical assault has since “sparked widespread outrage on social media.”
The Nigeria Film Crew Community (NFCC) issued a statement on Thursday, condemning the incident and reacting to the public outcry.
The NFCC described Courage’s actions as “animalistic behaviour.”
In announcing his arrest, the NFCC called upon Nollywood producers and all industry stakeholders to “blacklist Courage across all productions.”
The community explained the context of the assault, stating:“The production manager violently hit and strangled Mary Chizzy Eze for speaking up against unequal treatment among the crew. While she has received medical care, he has been arrested.”
The NFCC concluded their statement with a firm stance against workplace violence:“This level of disregard for human dignity is unacceptable. We stand firmly against all forms of abuse, assault, and crew maltreatment,” the NFCC said.
