Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has been suspended indefinitely by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) due to accusations of defamation against her colleagues and other prominent individuals in society.
The announcement was made via a statement shared on the guild’s official Instagram page.
According to the AGN, a thorough investigation conducted by a special panel revealed that Halima was guilty of slandering her fellow actors and patrons, as well as being involved in extramarital affairs linked to high-profile individuals.
The statement read:
1. ALL STATE CHAPTER CHAIRMEN,
CHAIRMAN NATIONAL TASK FORCE
SUBJECT: INDEFINITE SUSPENSION – HALIMA ABUBAKARFollowing 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, the panel found that Miss Halima Abubakar was behind slanderous information concerning our members, associates, and patrons, particularly regarding news of extramarital affairs with highly placed individuals in society.
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 Task Forces have been duly mandated to monitor compliance with this order, as violations of the suspension rules may lead to further disciplinary actions.
On behalf of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, I commend the professional and incisive work done by members of the Secret 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.
Thank you.”
Halima Abubakar’s suspension has raised eyebrows and ignited discussions on social media regarding accountability and the ethical responsibilities of public figures.
