The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has announced the indefinite suspension of Nollywood actor Jerry Williams over his involvement with drugs.

Emeka Rollas, the president of Actors’ Guild announced his suspension via a statement on Thursday.

According to the statement, the association has been monitoring the situation since December till it got out of hand.

According to the president, Jerry Williams ought to have been suspended before now, but the Guild decided to allow him go through minor treatments, which they claimed he has been defaulting of.

The President states that the actor is now a risk not only to himself but also to other actors, who might be acting alongside him on set.

Following this, the board decided to indefinitely suspend pending when he gets a clean bill of health from a medical practitioner.

The statement read 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 as it stands now, Jerry is a risk not only to himself but also, to 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 drug abuse”.
