Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar has been suspended by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) following accusations of professional misconduct.
The AGN revealed that Abubakar was involved in slandering Nollywood, following the conclusion of a two-year secret investigation into her actions.
In a statement released on Friday, the Guild announced that Abubakar had been spreading false information about fellow actors, associates, and prominent figures, including allegations of extramarital affairs with highly placed individuals.
The AGN’s Special Secret Investigation Panel, which had been monitoring blogs and bloggers since 2022, confirmed Abubakar’s involvement in disseminating the damaging information.
As a result, Halima Abubakar has been placed on indefinite suspension, pending further disciplinary action. The Guild stated that she will face the National Disciplinary Committee to determine the appropriate punishment, and is barred from participating in any AGN or filming activities during her suspension.
The statement read:
“Following the thorough investigative report by the Special Secret Investigation Panel set up to conduct an underground investigation into the activities of some blogs/bloggers since 2022.
“After two years of the investigations, the Panel found out that Miss Halima Abubakar was behind all the slandering information.
“Therefore, Halima Abubakar is hereby placed on indefinite suspension. She will face the National Disciplinary Committee to determine full punishment. And she’s not permitted to participate in any AGN and filming activities.
“However, some female members on the watch-list are being investigated by the secret panel, especially in the release of names purported to have had dealings with the Senate President.”
