Nollywood actor Godwin Nnadiekwe has revealed his full recovery after a near-fatal chest-kick incident that led to hospitalisation.

PREMIUM TIMES reported on 26 May that Godwin received treatment for internal bleeding following an out-of-script chest kick he got from fellow actor, Zubby Michael. Michael has not responded to or addressed the allegation publicly since it came to light.

Since then, the injured actor has been silent until he announced his full recovery in an Instagram story on Wednesday.

Godwin wrote, “I want to say thank you, everyone. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, empathy, and well wishes I received following my accident on the movie set with Zubby Michael. It has been a challenging journey, but your incredible support has made all the difference.”

The compère further stated his plan to return to the set after his health recovery. He wrote, “I’m happy to share that I have made a strong recovery. Your thoughts and prayers lifted my spirits and played a significant part in my healing process.
