Popular Yoruba actor/producer beaten to a pulp, hospitalised

Popular Yoruba actor, producer and director, Ibrahim Chatta, was over the weekend beaten to a pulp at the Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos, by film pirates, who were selling copies of the producer's films.

The top producer had been on his way to an event when he was spotted by the pirates who thought he was coming to get them arrested...again. A few of them had been arrested some weeks back.

Chatta lost consciousness during the assault and was fortunately rescued from near death by mobile policemen who were around the area at the time. He's currently receiving treatment at the hospital. No arrest has so far been made.
