The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has suspended Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar following a two-year investigation that uncovered her involvement in spreading defamatory information and statements about her colleagues in the industry.
The popular actress has allegedly been behind the spread of false and misleading information regarding her colleagues and other prominent individuals. In an official statement released on the Guild’s Instagram page on Friday, October 18, 2024, the AGN announced that the decision to suspend Abubakar came after a thorough secret investigation by a special panel.
“Following the thorough investigative report by the special Secret Investigation Panel set up to conduct an internal underground secret investigation, the Panel found out that Miss Halima Abubakar was behind all the slandering information,” the statement read.
As a result of this investigation, Abubakar has been indefinitely suspended, which prohibits her from participating in any AGN activities or filming during this period. Additionally, the Guild has stated that she will face the National Disciplinary Committee to determine her full punishment.
The AGN has also warned Halima Abubakar not to violate the suspension rules, stating that any breach could lead to further disciplinary actions. “She will face the National Disciplinary Committee to determine her full punishment,” the statement added.
