Top Nigerian movie director Lancelot Imaseun has been called out by Nollywood actress Sylvia Oluchi who allegedly accused him of assaulting her some years ago during production.
Lancelot Imaseun is the latest celebrity to be dragged into the fray of s.exual assault against women and girls in the past few days.
In a Whatsapp conversation, Sylvia revealed that Lancelot invited her into the hotel room when after a day’s film shoot in 2008 where they were lodging.
According to the actress, Lancelot Imaseun had a change of mind after she started tearing down over the advances of the director on her after he pinned her to the bed.
Reacting to the allegation, Imasuen said refused to speak on the issue.
“It is still a private matter so I am not in a position to make a statement.
The group chat where the accusation was made is a private one and the group’s admins have set up a committee to investigate the allegation.
“So, while I am surprised as anybody else-it is from 13 years ago, I have been advised to be quiet.
It is an industry thing for now and cannot be made public.”
