Actress Halima Abubakar has been suspended by Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, AGN, over what it described as professional misconduct.
The AGN said Abubakar’s “involvement in slandering Nollywood” was uncovered after two years of secret investigation.
Announcing her suspension in a statement on Friday, the Guild stated that other female members on the watch-list, especially over the recent release of names of persons purported to have had dealings with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, are being investigated by the secret panel.
The Guild said it found the actress “guilty of spreading false information about fellow colleagues, associates, and patrons, including allegations of extramarital affairs with highly placed individuals”.
“Following the thorough investigative report by the Special Secret Investigation Panel set up to conduct an underground investigation into the activities of some blogs/bloggers since 2022.
“After two years of the investigations, the Panel found out that Miss Halima Abubakar was behind all the slandering information.
“Therefore, Halima Abubakar is hereby placed on indefinite suspension. She will face the National Disciplinary Committee to determine full punishment. And she’s not permitted to participate in any AGN and filming activities.
“However, some female members on the watch-list are being investigated by the secret panel, especially in the release of names purported to have had dealings with the Senate President.”
