Actress Nkechi Blessing has rubbished a suspension placed on her by the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria.
She said the suspension was null and void because she had left the association long ago.
Besides, she said, it was strange that the suspension was communicated vis an Instagram post.
TAMPPAN had suspended Blessing and another actor, Kehinde Adams, aka Lege Miami, for fighting dirty on social media over the recent arrest of their colleague, Olanrewaju James, aka Baba Ijesha, who was alleged to have sexually assaulted a minor.
In a ‘Saturday Punch’ report, she is quoted as saying:
“I don’t feel any way. Firstly, an organised association should use proper measures to address a person they describe as their member. Since the letter was ‘delivered’ through a mere Instagram post without calling my phone or sending me an email, I consider it to be the joke of the century.
“Appease who? For what? What offense did I commit? So, there is no longer freedom of speech? (Imagine them) suspending someone that left them a long time ago.”
