A special assistant to the Akwa Ibom governor, Moses Armstrong, has been arrested by police in the state over an allegation that he defiled a minor.
Armstrong, who is also a Nollywood actor, lost his wife in 2018.
National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas confirmed the actor’s arrest in an interview with Qed.
Rollas described the case involving Armstrong as a “very serious one”.
He stated that AGN would never support rape or defilement of a minor.
“To get involved with a child as young as 16 years, is something I and the association I represent, would not stand for and this is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I wouldn’t want to comment any further on this case.
“As we chat, he is still in police custody,” Rollas reportedly said.
