The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) is investigating allegations that actresses Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Nancy Isime, and Ini Edo had affairs with Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Akpabio denied the claims, while the AGN suspended Halima Abubakar for spreading false information and slandering the industry. Further actions are pending.
The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) is currently investigating claims that some actresses, including Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Nancy Isime, and Ini Edo, were allegedly involved in romantic relationships with Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The allegations surfaced in July when a blog suggested these actresses were connected to Akpabio. However, the Senate President denied the claims, affirming that he is content with his marriage, while Dakore Egbuson-Akande threatened to take legal action against the blog for defamation.
In a recent statement, the AGN confirmed that these actresses are under investigation by a secret panel within the guild. The statement praised the efforts of the panel and noted that the actresses are being closely monitored.
Additionally, the AGN announced the suspension of actress Halima Abubakar. The guild accused her of spreading false information about other members, including claims of extramarital affairs with prominent individuals. According to AGN, a two-year-long investigation revealed her involvement in activities that tarnish the image of the film industry. Halima will now face the guild’s national disciplinary committee, where further action will be taken.
This investigation has sparked a lot of attention, particularly given the high-profile nature of the individuals involved. The outcome of the investigation is eagerly awaited by the public.
