Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi, has reacted to his indefinite suspension by the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria. He was found guilty of gross misconduct and unethical practices.
The actor was suspended over his controversial film, ‘Oko Iyabo’ which is based on the Baba Ijesha’s sexual assault case.
In an Instagram story post on Friday, July 9, 2021, the actor described the association’s letter as inappropriate and invalid to him as a filmmaker, claims he is not their member but a member of Association of Theater Arts Practitioners of Nigeria (ANTP).

He wrote, “I am originally an ANTP member, worst case I will renew my membership there. I have never obtained or signed any form with TAMPAN or joined any guild. I was made to pay for registration which I did but no form collected or formal procedure.
The letter is inappropriate, not valid for me as a filmmaker. Any reaction if necessary will be on the basis of human rights violation if I so wish to do seek judicial redress. You don’t lose what you never had.”
