AGN Suspends Actress Halima Abubakar For ‘Slandering’ Colleagues

The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has suspended actress Halima Abubakar following a thorough investigation into her “unprofessional misconduct” by spreading unfounded rumours of extramarital affairs between actors and notable Nigerians.

In a statement released on Friday, the Guild said Halima was found guilty of “spreading false information about fellow members, associates, and patrons, including allegations of extramarital affairs with highly placed individuals”.

The statement said a two-year-long investigation, conducted by a special secret investigation panel, uncovered Halima’s “involvement in slandering the industry”.

“Following 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 statement read.

After two years of the painstaking investigations, the Panel found out that Miss Halima Abubakar was behind all the slandering information its members, associates and patrons, especially news of extra marital affairs linked with highly placed individuals in the society emanating from the industry.
