Actress Peggy Ovire has finally answered the N100 million demand letter actor Taiye Arimoro sent through his lawyers — and she isn’t accepting any part of his story.
In a response issued by Adolphus & Co, Peggy’s legal team said Taiye’s claims were “misleading, selective and materially false,” insisting the actor is twisting the entire incident.
According to the letter, the issue started when Taiye was asked to return to set, but instead allegedly got into a heated confrontation. The response states that he assaulted the Production Manager, Luke Obayi, before allegedly head-butting Peggy’s driver, Joshua Madu, leaving him bleeding from the ear and nose. Witnesses around the location reportedly gave statements to the police confirming Taiye’s aggressive behaviour.
Peggy’s lawyers also said Taiye tried to flee immediately after the incident, and any attempt to stop him was simply to prevent him from escaping before police arrived. They maintained that Peggy never assaulted him, explaining that the only physical contact was when she “pushed him lightly” after he allegedly attempted to deflate her tyres.
