Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke recently explained why he has been publicly calling out fellow actor Jim Iyke. In a video shared online, Gideon revealed that he suffered a painful injury while acting on a production set led by Jim Iyke.
The incident occurred during a shooting scene where Gideon was accidentally hurt. A video from the set shows him yelling in pain as the injury unfolded. Gideon explained that the injury was serious, requiring stitches, and it took him three months to fully recover.
However, what upset Gideon the most was Jim Iyke’s reaction—or lack of it. According to Gideon, Jim failed to show any concern or offer support after the incident. Instead, Gideon claims Jim avoided him entirely, describing his behavior as immature.
As Gideon is his mother’s only child, he reflected on how much worse the situation could have been if the injury had been fatal. This experience has left him deeply disappointed in how the situation was handled, both professionally and personally.
This incident highlights the dangers actors face while filming and the need for more care and accountability in the film industry.
