The leadership of the Actors Guild of
Nigeria, AGN, has announced the indefinite suspension of actor Jerry Williams
following his involvement in illicit substances.
In a statement signed by the National President of AGN, Mr Emeka Rollas, MON,
they have been monitoring Jerry’s involvement in illicit substances since
December, last last until it got out of hand and as it is now, he cannot be
allowed to associate with other performers on set due to endangering their
lives.
According to him, the situation is a matter of safety for fellow actors.
The statements reads in part; “the Guild has been monitoring his involvement in
illicit substances since December last year, until it got out of hand and 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. But at 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.'”
Jerry hit the limelight after starring in the epic move, “The Chosen King”.
He’s known for playing the role of a ‘prince, king, warrior, and palace guard,
hunter, romantic guy, terrorist, and many other roles in his past movies.
