Ojo’s nominations come days after TAMPAN Board of Trustees and the Elders of Nigerian Motion Picture Industry sent a stern warning to her and another actress, Nkechi Blessing, over their ‘reckless accusations, abuses and embarrassment’ against the association and the movie industry as a whole.
The association had earlier suspended Blessing and another actor, Kehinde Adams, aka Lege, for fighting dirty on social media over the arrest of their colleague, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, aka Baba Ijesha, who was accused of sexually assaulting a minor.
On her part, Ojo was accused of insulting some actors for keeping mute about the case.
The movie practitioners groups also barred their members from engaging Ojo and Blessing in any of their movie projects.
