Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke has reopened his long-standing conflict with fellow actor Jim Iyke.
TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reports that the actor claimed that Iyke once attempted to shoot him during a film production.
He made the allegation in an emotional video shared on Instagram, where he also apologised for his recent public outbursts.
Gideon explained that the incident allegedly happened on January 18, 2024, during a heated moment on set.
According to him, Jim Iyke reached for a gun with the intention to harm him.
He said if the action had succeeded, the result could have been fatal.
Although he did not mention the names of those present, he expressed disappointment that none of them have spoken up about what happened.
While addressing the matter, he also apologised to his fans, colleagues, and supporters, saying his recent behaviour was not consistent with the person they knew.
He admitted his actions were wrong but insisted that his fears and pain from the past event are real and unresolved.
He said: “I want to apologise to anybody who cares remotely about me or my work… to my friends, fans, lovers of Gideon, if I still have any left.
“Without being adamant, I respectfully maintain that an obituary wouldn’t have been fair on me either if Jim Iyke had succeeded in using that gun he wanted to use on the 18th of January.
“Nobody would have been there to defend my cause, because the people who were present till today have feigned ignorance. I’m not calling their names… but I felt, wow, this is the life.
“I really am sorry… but I will cease and desist from now. I am sorry. I mean it. Pardon me. Forgive me. Point is made.”
