AGN suspends Halima Abubakar indefinitely for allegedly providing bloggers with false information regarding actors
The Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has indefinitely suspended actress Halima Abubakar after conducting a thorough investigation.
According to the AGN’s statement, their inquiry has uncovered evidence that Halima Abubakar is responsible for disseminating false and defamatory information about members, associates, and patrons of the organization on various online platforms.
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.”
The association said Halima, despite the suspension, would still face disciplinary action.
“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.”
The AGN also stated that some unnamed female members of the association are currently under observation by the investigative panel.
“However, some female members on the watch list are being investigated by the secret panel, especially in the recent release of names purported to have had dealings with the Senate President.”
