In addition, Mr Emeka confirmed that Moses Armstrong is no longer allowed to act until the investigation is over.

“Actor Moses Armstrong has been placed on indefinite suspension by the National Executive Committee of the Actors Guild of Nigeria over his arrest by the police on allegation of raping a minor.”

“The Actors Guild of Nigeria has been in the forefront of advocacy against violations of women, such as rape, molestation and all forms of abuse. Therefore, the allegation against Moses Armstrong is capable of tarnishing the good image and reputation of our noble Guild if urgent action is not taken in accordance with the constitutional provisions of the Guild.”

“Though it is our duty to protect our members when it comes to serious allegations, the law will have to take its course.”

“While on suspension the actor is not expected to participate in any film production or Guild activities.”

“He also stated that, The National/State Chapter Task Forces have been mandated to monitor all film locations and production sets in the country as violation of the suspension rules may lead to further stiff disciplinary measures as stipulated by the AGN constitution,” the statement read.

Before his arrest, the actor-movie producer who appeared in ‘Bridge of No Return’ and ‘Udeme Mmi’ was the governor’s Special Assistant.
