The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has suspended actor Jerry Williams indefinitely due to his association with illegal substances.
Emeka Rollas, AGN’s National President, announced the announcement in a statement.
The association, according to Rollas, has been monitoring the situation since December until it became out of control.
They added that Williams cannot be permitted to interact with other actors on set in order to avoid endangering the lives of others.

According to him, the situation is about fellow actors’ safety.
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.’”
