The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has suspended Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar indefinitely over alleged slander of colleagues and members of the guild, News About Nigeria reports.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Guild on Friday.
The Guild noted that a two-year investigation by a panel it established showed that Halima slandered some of her colleagues.
It stated that Halima Abubakar was behind all the slandering information of its members, associates, and patrons, especially news of extramarital affairs linked with highly placed individuals in the society.
The association further stated that Halima, despite the suspension, will still face disciplinary action.
The statement reads, “Following the thorough investigative report by the special Secret Investigation Panel set up to conduct an internal underground secret investigation into the activities of some blogs/bloggers since 2022.
“After two years of painstaking investigations, the Panel found out that Miss Halima Abubakar was behind all the slandering information of our members, associates and patrons, especially news of extramarital affairs linked with highly placed individuals in the society emanating from the industry.
“Therefore, Halima Abubakar is hereby placed on indefinite suspension from the Actors Guild of Nigeria. She will face the National Disciplinary Committee to determine her full punishment. During this period of her suspension, she is not permitted to participate in any AGN and or filming activities.
“The National/State Chapter Taskforces have been duly mandated to monitor the compliance of the above order as violations of the suspension rules may lead to further disciplinary actions.”
