The actor clarified that his intention was not to place blame on the producer but to urge her to address the situation publicly. “We’re not blaming you for his death, but we urge you to acknowledge the situation, share your side of the story, and consider supporting the family,” he added.
Johnson also revealed that Lawal’s father felt deeply disrespected by the handling of the aftermath.

According to him, the bereaved father was upset over what he perceived as a lack of empathy, particularly when the production team requested the brother’s bank account details shortly after the tragedy.
“The father feels disrespected, citing a lack of human feeling by requesting the brother’s account number shortly after OLA’s passing, as if he were for sale,” Johnson stated.
The incident has sparked conversations within the Nollywood community, with many calling for better safety measures and accountability on movie sets. As the industry mourns the loss of Ola Lawal, Johnson’s words highlight the need for transparency and compassion in such difficult times.
