Nollywood actor Jerry Williams suspended over drug abuse

The Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN has suspended a popular actor Jerry Williams over his involvement in illicit substances.

A statement signed by the National President of AGN, Mr Emeka Rollas, MON, said Williams could not be allowed to associate with other performers on set.

The statement reads,” We have been monitoring Jerry’s involvement in illicit substances since December, last last until it got out of hand. As it is now, he cannot be allowed to associate with other performers on set due to danger.

“He ought to have been suspended before now. But, we decided to allow him go through minor treatments , which he has been defaulting overtimes.

“As it stands now, Jerry is a risk not only to himself but also, other actors who might be acting alongside him on set.

“We , therefore, have decided to suspend him indefinitely until he gets a clean bill of health from a medical practitioner or a professional that handles drugs abuse.’”
