October 24, (THEWILL) – The President of the Actor’s Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has suspended actress Nneoma Ukpabi, who is the Chairman of the Imo State chapter of the guild, over alleged fraud.
This development is coming after a lady called out Ukpabi for demanding and receiving the sum of N400,000 from her as bribe to register her as an actor.
The lady also alleged that she was assaulted, tortured and maltreated in the process.
Rollos released a statement after he was informed of the development. He announced Ukpabi’s suspension and ordered an investigation of the allegations levelled against her.
“A few hours ago, I got the report about how this lady was treated. I followed the matter up through the Delta State chairman to draw a conclusion that the boys were complicit with Nneoma on this matter.
“No new member or any human deserves to be treated in this manner. We have just suspended Nneoma Ukpabi indefinitely until she and her accomplices are brought to book and she clears herself before the National Disciplinary committee,” he wrote.
