WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has placed on watchlist several Nollywood actresses fingered to have had romantic relationships with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In July, NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) reports that an Instagram blog alleged that Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Nancy Isime, and Ini Edo were involved in affairs with Akpabio, but the senate president denied the allegations. In a memo captioned INDEFINITE SUSPENSION- HALIMA ABUBAKAR on Friday, the AGN confirmed that the actresses are on its “watchlist” and are being “investigated” by its secret panel.
The memo reads in part, “On behalf of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, I commend the professional and incisive work done by members of the secret investigative panel. “However, some female members on the watchlist are being investigated by the secret panel, especially in the recent release of names purported to have had dealings with the Senate President.”
NOP understands that AGN also announced the suspension of popular actress Halima Abubakar for “news of extramarital affairs linked with highly placed individuals in society and Nollywood stars”. The AGN said a two-year-long investigation uncovered Halima’s “involvement in slandering the film industry”.
It added that the actress will face the national disciplinary committee to determine her full punishment.
