Veteran actor, Segun Arinze has been caught on tape chasing his ‘househelp’ and beating him up for allegedly using his car and removing the bulglary proof in his home.
The story shared by a Twitter user, @CloakedAdonis has it that the boy was spotted rolling on the floor with bruises, crying as Segun Arinze who was reportedly ready to kill him, kept shouting on top of his voice, saying that the boy removed his bulglary proof and used his car without informing him.
In the viral video, furious Segun Arinze could be seen ranting angrily on the street, trying to attack the boy again, as neighbours restrained him.
However, in a chat with PUNCH, the veteran actor told his own side of the story, read below:
“Isaiah has been working with me for over a year, I take him as a younger brother and I never treated him like a staff; but his excesses are too much.
“He leaves his duty post at will without informing anyone in the house.
“He left the gate open unguarded countless times. I have spoken, counselled, gotten angry many times, to no avail.
“On Sunday, he left the house without informing me; he returned on Monday afternoon, saying he went for a party and forgot my gate key at his friend’s house.
“At that point, I couldn’t bottle up my anger any longer, so, I slapped him.”
“It is sad that the man who filmed the incident couldn’t spare some time to ask what led to the public outrage.
“Everybody in the neighbourhood knows me as a peace-loving resident.”
