Nollywood actress and filmmaker Peggy Ovire has addressed the accusations of physical assault made against her by fellow actor Taye Arimoro, firmly dismissing them as untrue.
Responding to the ₦100 million lawsuit filed by Arimoro, Peggy stated that the allegations brought against her are “materially false.”
