Actor Ebun Oloyede a.k.a Olaiya Igwe will face a disciplinary committee of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria. This is sequel to a viral video of him appearing nude and saying prayers for the All Progressives Congress of Nigeria presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 general elections. According to reports the president of TAMPAN, Otunba Bolaji Amusan revealed the decision during the meeting of the association last Thursday. During the meeting, Olaiya was accused of encouraging acts capable of compromising the association’s core values and acting totally against the norms of the culture that it holds.
Otunba Amusan explained that each member is expected to deploy their sense of creativity with a standard level of decorum. He said each practitioner of the Arts of the theatre and movie-making ought to be conscious that the general interest and good of the society override personal interests. A statement by the association said: “This was to act as a deterrent to any member who might already be seeing the viral video as another creative dimension and precedent. He explained that Media and Publicity Directorate remains critical to the overall success of TAMPAN and therefore urged the Directorate to work very hard so as to achieve total rebranding of the Association,”
