Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar has been suspended by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) for defamation of her colleagues and other high profiled Nigerians.
The Guild revealed that a special investigative panel conducted a two-year probe into Abubakar’s actions, uncovering evidence of her role in spreading false claims about industry figures, patrons, and prominent individuals. The investigation highlighted accusations of extramarital affairs involving influential personalities.
Following these findings, the AGN announced her indefinite suspension in an official statement.
During the suspension, Abubakar is barred from participating in any AGN activities or film projects.
Consequently, the National/State Chapter Task Forces will monitor compliance, with violations potentially leading to further disciplinary action.
Halima Abubakar will face the National Disciplinary committee to determine her full punishment.
The AGN further disclosed that additional female members are under investigation for offenses similar to those recently reported. These investigations particularly focus on fresh allegations linked to the Senate President.
