According to KOK, he had always heard tales about Angel and her mother’s conduct on movie sets and that he finally became a victim. He claimed that the teenage star’s mum immediately changed her behaviour after reaching a contract with producers and collecting money for a job.
The film star explained that Angel Unigwe’s mother took her daughter from a movie set at 9 p.m. when the particular day they agreed to shoot had not expired. According to him, the day was supposed to have expired at 12 a.m.

Not stopping there, KOK went on to call on other movie producers not to use the services of the teenage actress owing to the actions of her mother.
He said on his Instagram page:
“This is a clarion call to every producer, please I beg you in the name of professionalism and all that unites us. From this moment, 21st day of June 2024, any set that employs the services of Angel Unigwe, I will come to that set and make sure filming does not hold. You guys know what it is for an artist to walk out on a set. I want to guarantee all of you that we had a very good working relationship with Angel. Her mother has been threatening many producers. So please I don’t want to block anybody’s shooting schedule but please I will monitor from this moment any set where I find Angel Unigwe shooting, it will be disrupted. This is not a threat to anybody.”

Angel's mother should not have accepted the contract
A Nigerian father spoke on KOK's anger following Angel Unigwe and her mother's actions. He agreed that a young girl should not be out by that time while also saying that they should not have accepted the job in the first place. In his words:
"For me I think the contract was wrong because it's not right for anyone to keep a teenager that late from their home. Also the mum shouldn’t have agreed for her child to stay out late from the onset. We know the situation in our country. You can’t afford to decline offers because opportunities are few."
