Nollywood Scandal: Taye Arimoro Sues Peggy Ovire For ₦100 Million Over Alleged Assault
Nollywood actor Taye Arimoro has filed a lawsuit against actress and producer Peggy Ovire, accusing her of assaulting him on a movie set and demanding ₦100 million in damages alongside a public apology.

Arimoro stated that his vehicle was initially blocked by the production manager and later by another car. Feeling unsafe, he reportedly began a live broadcast on Instagram to document the situation. The conflict allegedly escalated at the estate gate, where Ovire and her team confronted him. Arimoro claims that during the confrontation, his tyres were deflated, he was surrounded by multiple individuals, and he sustained injuries including a fractured jaw, bite marks, and bruises. He also alleged that his phone was tampered with during the episode.
Arimoro’s legal team argued that the incident infringed upon his rights to personal freedom, movement, and dignity, resulting in both emotional distress and financial loss. They are requesting a public video apology across all of Ovire’s social media platforms in addition to the ₦100 million compensation.
Peggy Ovire was given seven days to respond to the lawsuit but has yet to issue any public statement. Arimoro shared a notice on social media addressing Ovire, urging her to forward all responses to his solicitors.
